Pierre-Marie Laurent: The Regal Baritone in 'Si J'étais Roi' at the Theatre Lyrique, 1852 This handcolored lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1860, showcases the renowned baritone singer Pierre-Marie Laurent in the leading role of 'Si J'étais Roi' at the Theatre Lyrique in Paris during the 1852 season. Laurent, known for his powerful voice and commanding stage presence, brought the comic opera 'Si J'étais Roi' to life as the King Aldolphe. The production, which was based on the libretto by Adolphe Adam and Jean-Henri Mélesville, was a huge success, with Laurent's performance earning him critical acclaim and the admiration of audiences. In this stunning image, Laurent is depicted in all his regal glory, wearing an ornate and elaborate costume fit for a king. His confident and majestic expression conveys the power and authority of the monarch, while his hands are gracefully positioned, suggesting a sense of control and poise. The intricate details of the costume, from the rich fabrics to the elaborate embroidery, are beautifully captured in the handcoloring, adding to the overall grandeur and opulence of the image. The Theatre Lyrique was a popular venue for opera and musical theatre in 19th century Paris, and this lithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of French comic opera during this period. With its stunning visuals and historical significance, this image is a must-have for any collection focusing on the history of opera, theatre, or 19th century French culture.
