EDITORS COMMENTS
Pas de Quatre: Faust Up To Date, a captivating and irreverent burlesque production, graced the stage of London's renowned Gaiety Theatre around 1888. This intriguing image showcases the cover of the sheet music for this innovative dance number, titled "Pas de Quatre," which was invented and arranged by John d'Auban from the operatic spoof "Faust Up To Date." The operatic parody, which was composed by Meyer Lutz, took a humorous and satirical approach to the classic opera "Faust" by Charles Gounod. The title "Pas de Quatre" refers to a dance for four women, which is depicted in this image. The dancers featured in the print are Lilian Price, Florence Levy, Eva Greville, and Maud Wilmot. Their elegant and graceful poses exude confidence and playfulness, reflecting the lighthearted and entertaining nature of the burlesque production. The women's costumes, with their vibrant colors and intricate details, add to the allure of the image and the excitement of the performance. The setting of the stage is evocative of the Victorian era, with its ornate barn-like theatre design and the use of gaslights to illuminate the scene. The overall effect is one of enchantment and wonder, transporting the viewer back in time to experience the magic of the 1880s entertainment scene. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of dance and theatre, showcasing the creativity and innovation that defined the burlesque genre during the late 19th century.
