EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the renowned ballerina Emilie Bigottini (1784-1858) in the prime of her career, as she gracefully performs in the opera "Nina, o sia la pazza per amore" (Nina or the girl driven mad by love) by Giovanni Paisiello at the Opera Theatre in Paris, 1816. The image, published in Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles par K. et Z, Chez Janet, Paris, 1818, showcases Bigottini's exceptional skill and artistry as she executes a delicate pirouette, her flowing white costume and expressive face conveying the emotional depth of the character Nina. The opera, a popular success during the Romantic era, tells the story of a young woman driven to madness by her unrequited love for the Duke of Calabria. Emilie Bigottini, a French dancer of Italian descent, was a celebrated figure in the world of ballet, known for her beauty, elegance, and technical prowess. This exquisite engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the Opera Theatre in Paris during the early 19th century, where Emilie Bigottini enchanted audiences with her captivating performances.
