EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Montano, the celebrated contralto singer, gracefully embodies the spirited and witty character of Rosine in this exquisite handcoloured lithograph from the opera Le Barbier de Seville by Gioachino Rossini. The image, taken from a production at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris during the 1823 season, captures the essence of the beloved comic opera as Madame Montano dons the elaborate costumes and expressive facial gestures synonymous with the role. Le Barbier de Seville, a masterpiece of the bel canto repertoire, premiered in 1816 and has since captivated audiences with its intricate plot and memorable music. In this production, Madame Montano's powerful and emotive voice brought Rosine's complex emotions to life, as she navigated the comedic twists and turns of the story. The handcoloured lithograph, produced by F. Noel after an illustration by Lavigne Marin, perfectly encapsulates the theatricality and elegance of the production. The intricate details of Madame Montano's costume, the expressive poses of the actors, and the ornate stage setting all contribute to a vivid and immersive portrayal of the opera. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Rossini's Le Barbier de Seville and the extraordinary talent of Madame Montano as Rosine. A true masterpiece of the operatic world, this production continues to inspire and delight audiences over two centuries after its premiere.
