EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures the magical moment when Ann Brown and George Mattocks brought the beloved characters of Miranda and Ferdinand to life in an operatic adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tempest at the Covent Garden Theatre in 1776. Ann Brown, later known as Mrs. Ann Cargill, was a celebrated British opera diva whose voice and stage presence left an indelible mark on the 18th century theatrical scene. Her portrayal of Miranda, the enchanted daughter of the sorcerer Prospero, was a testament to her versatility and grace. George Mattocks, an accomplished actor, singer, and dancer, portrayed Ferdinand, the noble prince who falls in love with Miranda. Mattocks's charisma and vocal prowess added depth and emotion to the role, making for a captivating performance. This stunning image, drawn by Charles Grignion and engraved by Robert Dighton, offers a glimpse into the world of 18th century opera and the magical partnership between these two talented performers. The print's intricate details and vibrant colors transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the enchantment and wonder of Shakespeare's The Tempest as it was brought to life on the Covent Garden stage over two centuries ago.
