EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, created by Fortuné Méaulle in 1891, immortalizes the Place de l'Opéra in Paris on the evening of the first performance of Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin." The Palais Garnier, also known as Opera Garnier, glows in the twilight, its grand facade adorned with intricate carvings and statues. The bustling square is filled with elegantly dressed Parisians, eagerly anticipating the highly anticipated premiere. The elaborate stage design and ornate costumes of the opera are hinted at in the detailed woodcut, which captures the opulence and grandeur of the Parisian opera scene. Charles Garnier, the architect of the Palais Garnier, had envisioned the opera house as a symbol of French artistic and cultural prowess. The opening of "Lohengrin," one of Wagner's most famous works, was a significant moment in the history of the Paris Opera. The woodcut, with its intricate details and dynamic composition, serves as a visual record of this historic occasion. Fortuné Méaulle, a skilled woodcut artist, expertly captured the energy and excitement of the evening. His use of bold lines, contrasting shadows, and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the Parisian opera scene over a century ago. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of opera and the rich cultural heritage of Paris.
