EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle Emy, or Emma Lagrua, gracefully embodies the role of Irene in Fromental Halevy's "Le Juif Errant" at the Theatre de l'Opéra in Paris. Born in Dresden, Germany, in 1831, Lagrua began her career with the Dresden Court Opera before making her Parisian debut in 1852. Her exceptional vocal abilities and captivating stage presence quickly gained her recognition and acclaim in the French capital. This exquisite handcoloured lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, part of the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris collection, captures the essence of Mlle Emy's performance as Irene. The intricately detailed costume design, with its flowing robes and delicate embroidery, highlights her ethereal beauty and poise. The rich colors and fine shading of the lithograph bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the opulent and elegant world of 19th-century Parisian opera. Le Juif Errant, or The Wandering Jew, is a classic opera in five acts with a libretto by Eugène Scribe and a score by Fromental Halevy. The story follows the titular character, a Jewish man condemned to wander the Earth until the Second Coming of Christ, as he searches for redemption and love. Mlle Emy's portrayal of Irene, a noblewoman who falls in love with the Wandering Jew, added depth and emotion to this powerful and thought-provoking production. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century opera, showcasing the talent and artistry of Mlle Emy as well as the intricate costumes and set designs that brought these productions to life. The lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of opera as a cultural and artistic institution, and a reminder of the captivating performances that continue to inspire and delight audiences today.
