EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step into the world of Theatre Sarah Bernhardt, a Parisian landmark that once bore the name of the legendary actress herself. In 1899, the Theatre de la Ville underwent a transformation and was rechristened in honor of Sarah Bernhardt, who had produced shows there for nearly two decades. This postcard, dated 1902, invites us to witness the grand opening of her revival of Victorien Sardou's "La Tosca." The renowned actress, known for her captivating performances and magnetic stage presence, graced the Parisian stage once more in this iconic production. The Theatre Sarah Bernhardt stood as a testament to her enduring legacy and the indelible mark she left on the world of French theatre." This postcard, an unattributed photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Parisian theatre and the extraordinary career of Sarah Bernhardt. The Theatre de la Ville, now Theatre Sarah Bernhardt, was a hub of artistic innovation and creativity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and this postcard serves as a tangible reminder of that era. The image of the theatre, adorned with the actress's name, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in the history of French theatre that continues to captivate and inspire.
