EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Gustave-Hippolyte Roger as Gibby la Cornemuse in Clapisson's Comic Opera at Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique, 1846" This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned tenor singer, Gustave-Hippolyte Roger, in his role as Gibby la Cornemuse in the comic opera "Gibby la Cornemuse" by Clapisson, which premiered at Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1846. The image, an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie from Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris," offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the time. Gustave-Hippolyte Roger (1813-1893) was a celebrated French operatic tenor who graced the stages of Parisian theatres throughout the mid-19th century. His distinctive voice and captivating stage presence earned him a devoted fanbase, and he was particularly renowned for his roles in comic operas. In "Gibby la Cornemuse," he portrayed the titular character, a humble shepherd who falls in love with the beautiful Rosette, played by the soprano Mme. Lasalle. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of the comic opera, with Roger's expressive face and the intricate details of his costume, which includes a traditional shepherd's outfit adorned with flowers and a cornemuse, a type of bagpipe. The backdrop of the theatre and the ornate stage design further enhance the image, transporting us back to the vibrant and lively world of Parisian opera in the mid-1800s. This print is not only a testament to the talent of Gustave-Hippolyte Roger and the creativity of Alexandre Lacauchie, but also a valuable historical document that offers insights into the world of 19th-century French opera.
