EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 1820s, the renowned French baritone, M. Huet, gracefully portrays King Charles VII in Act 2 of the opera "Jeanne d'Arc à Orleans" by Michele Carafa di Colobrano. The production took place at the prestigious Opera Comique in Paris during the year 1821. Charles VII, the King of France, is depicted in the midst of a passionate and patriotic scene, delivering a powerful gesture with his right hand, as if swearing an oath or giving a command. His left hand holds a sword, symbolizing his royal authority and military power. A dagger is also visible at his side, emphasizing the intensity and determination of his character. M. Huet's regal attire is adorned with white and yellow ermine, signifying his high rank and royal status. The hose and hose bands add to the authenticity of his medieval appearance. The king's costume, along with the elaborate set and theatrical lighting, contribute to the overall enchanting atmosphere of the operatic performance. The opera "Jeanne d'Arc à Orleans" tells the story of Joan of Arc, the legendary heroine who led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War. The production was undoubtedly a significant event in Parisian entertainment during the 1820s, showcasing the talent of M. Huet and the artistic vision of Michele Carafa di Colobrano. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of French opera and the captivating performances that took place on the stages of Paris during the 19th century.
