1842 Cavalieri Emma Foreground Heroines Jules Leading Lina Massenet Piano Roles Singers Sung Calve
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the renowned French composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) surrounded by some of the most celebrated singers who brought his leading heroines to life on the operatic stage. The image, undated but believed to have been taken around the turn of the 20th century, features the esteemed sopranos Emma Calve and Mary Garden, as well as the enigmatic Lina Cavalieri, who stood out among their contemporaries for their exceptional performances in Massenet's operas. Calve, positioned at the top left of the image, was a French soprano known for her powerful and expressive voice, which earned her the lead role in Massenet's most famous opera, "Thaïs." Cavalieri, an Italian soprano, was renowned for her beauty and dramatic abilities, and she graced the piano in this photograph, adding an air of elegance and allure to the scene. Garden, standing in the foreground, was a Scottish-born soprano who made her mark on the operatic world with her interpretations of Massenet's heroines, including Manon in "Manon" and Marguerite in "Faust." The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of late 19th-century opera, where the music of Massenet and the performances of these extraordinary singers captivated audiences and left an indelible mark on the history of the art form. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of music and the artists who bring it to life, and it remains a treasured piece of operatic history to this day.
