This stunning stage design for the opera "La Princesse jaune" (The Yellow Princess) by Camille Saint-Saëns, created by Philippe Chaperon in 1872, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of French opera. The design is currently housed in the esteemed Collection of the Musee Carnavalet in Paris. Philippe Chaperon (1823-1906), a renowned French theatrical scenic painter, brought the magical world of Saint-Saëns' opera to life through this exquisite mixed media on board piece. The intricate detail and vibrant colors showcase the opulence and grandeur of the production. "La Princesse jaune" is an opera in three acts, with a libretto by Henri Cain, based on a short story by the same name by the Comte de Lautréamont. The opera premiered at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra-Comique in Paris on December 16, 1872. The design features a richly decorated palace setting, with intricate patterns and gold accents adorning the walls, giving an air of royalty and luxury. The central focus is on the throne, where the Yellow Princess, the protagonist, is depicted, dressed in her iconic yellow attire. This theatrical masterpiece is a testament to the artistic collaboration between Saint-Saëns and Chaperon, who together created a visually stunning and musically captivating opera that continues to be celebrated in the world of classical music and theatre. The design serves as a reminder of the importance of the visual arts in enhancing the overall experience of opera and theatre.
