EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases Marie-Josephe Cabel in the role of Toinon from Adolphe Adam's opera "Le Bijou Perdu" (The Lost Jewel), performed at the Theatre Lyrique in Paris during the 1860s. Born in Belgium in 1827, Cabel was a celebrated soprano opera singer who graced the stages of Paris, England, and Belgium until her retirement in 1877. The image, produced by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of 19th-century opera. Toinon, a character from Adolphe Adam's lesser-known work, is depicted in this lithograph wearing a stunning, intricately designed costume. The rich colors and fine details of the print bring the character to life, showcasing the skill and artistry of both the singer and the artist. Cabel's expressive face and confident posture convey the depth of emotion required for the role, further highlighting her exceptional talent. Marie-Josephe Cabel's career was marked by critical acclaim and numerous accolades. However, her life ended tragically in a mental hospital, where she died in 1885. Despite this sad ending, her legacy as a brilliant Belgian soprano opera singer continues to be celebrated in the annals of musical history. This exquisite handcolored lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of her extraordinary talent and the captivating performances she brought to the stage during her illustrious career.
