EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Gertrude Callam in the role of Rosina from Gioachino Rossini's timeless opera, The Barber of Seville. The image, taken in March 1927, showcases Callam's radiant soprano voice and enchanting stage presence as she portrays the cunning and resourceful young woman in Rossini's beloved comedy. Rossini's The Barber of Seville, originally premiered in 1816, is a classic opera buffa that tells the story of Rosina, a beautiful young woman who is being kept under the guardianship of the cruel Dr. Bartolo. Rosina is in love with Count Almaviva, but Bartolo has other plans and seeks to marry her himself. With the help of the clever barber Figaro, Count Almaviva devises a series of clever schemes to win Rosina's heart. In this photograph, Gertrude Callam embodies the youthful spirit and determination of Rosina. Her expressive eyes and confident posture convey the character's intelligence and determination, while her elegant costume and poised demeanor reflect the opulence and sophistication of the opera's setting. Gertrude Callam's portrayal of Rosina was highly acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. Her beautiful voice and captivating stage presence made her a beloved soprano of her time, and her performance in The Barber of Seville remains a testament to her talent and artistry. This photograph is a rare and delightful glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of opera in the 1920s and the remarkable career of Gertrude Callam as Rosina.
