EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1851 captures a scene from Beethoven's opera, Fidelio, performed at the Royal Italian Opera in London. The image depicts Grieve and Telbins courtyard of the Spanish state prison, with the principal entrance in the background and dungeons on either side. The tableau is effectively arranged, creating a powerful visual impact. Adding to this effect is the entrance of prisoners who have received permission from Rocco, the gaoler, to take some fresh air in the garden. Fidelio and Marcellina can be seen earnestly persuading them to join them outside. The engraving showcases a Victorian-era illustrative technique and embodies 19th-century style. It exudes an air of history and cultural significance as it transports us back to a time when grand operatic performances were highly esteemed forms of entertainment. With its retro-styled aesthetic and intricate details, this engraved image by 000138 offers a glimpse into an era long gone but still cherished for its artistic achievements. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of classical music and theater.
