1. Title: "The Chevalier de St. Luc: Toussaint Mocker's Majestic Performance in Cagliostro at Theatre Royal de l'Opéra Comique, 1843" This evocative handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting moment when the renowned French tenor, Toussaint-Eugène-Ernest Mocker, graced the stage as the Chevalier de St. Luc in Eugène Scribe's Cagliostro at Theatre Royal de l'Opéra Comique in Paris, 1843. The image, based on an illustration by Victor Dollet from Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris, published in 1844, showcases Mocker's captivating presence and vocal prowess. Dressed in the elegant costume of the Chevalier, Mocker exudes confidence and charm, with a proud gaze that speaks to his character's strength and determination. The intricately detailed design of the costume, complete with the iconic feathered hat and flowing cape, further accentuates his regal appearance. The Theatre Royal de l'Opéra Comique was a prestigious venue for opera and musical theatre in Paris during the 19th century, and Mocker's portrayal of the Chevalier de St. Luc in Cagliostro was a highly anticipated and critically acclaimed performance. The lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Mocker's artistry and the indelible impact he left on the world of opera. Alexandre Lacauchie's masterful handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the Chevalier to life and transporting us back in time to the enchanting world of 19th-century Parisian theatre. This print is a must-have for any opera lover or collector of historical theatre memorabilia.
