Scene from the "New Ballet"of "The Marble Maiden"
Scene from the " New Ballet" of " The Marble Maiden", at Drury Lane Theatre, 1845. London stage production starring French ballerina Adele Dumilatre:we have found a full confirmation of our introductory remarks as to the danger of critics deciding on a first representation, by the reception given to the " Marble Maiden." This ballet met with general condemnation, but since the first night, by judicious curtailments, it has become a source of great attraction as one of the prettiest and most effective of ballets. We witnessed it on Wednesday night for the third time, and nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the audience. Adolphe Adams music and Dumilatres dancing are charming. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned "New Ballet" of "The Marble Maiden" performed at Drury Lane Theatre in 1845. The London stage production starred the talented French ballerina, Adele Dumilatre. Initially met with general condemnation by critics on its first night, this ballet has since undergone judicious curtailments and transformed into one of the most enchanting and visually stunning performances. Witnessed for the third time on Wednesday night, this rendition of "The Marble Maiden" evoked an overwhelming sense of enthusiasm from the audience. Adolphe Adams' mesmerizing music perfectly complemented Dumilatre's graceful dancing, creating a truly charming spectacle that captivated all who were fortunate enough to witness it. This historic photograph is sourced from an edition of the "Illustrated London News" dating back to 1845. It serves as a testament to both the power of artistic evolution and the danger posed by critics deciding solely based on initial representations. The transformation of "The Marble Maiden" from condemned to celebrated exemplifies how careful adjustments can turn a performance into one that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly appealing to audiences. With its intricate engravings capturing every detail, this print transports viewers back in time to experience firsthand the magic and allure of 19th-century ballet at its finest.
