EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Valere, the celebrated soprano singer of her time, graces this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Anna in the Romantic opera "Robin des Bois" by Carl Maria von Weber. The image captures a pivotal moment in the production, which premiered at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris in 1824. Dressed in an elegant gown, Madame Valere embodies the grace and beauty of Anna, a character who plays a crucial role in the story of the marksman Robin Hood. The opera, which was also known as "Der Freischütz" in German, was a major success for Carl Maria von Weber and marked a significant contribution to the Romantic opera genre. This portrait, created by the skilled hands of F. Noel after an illustration by Lavigne Marin, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the early 19th century and the extraordinary talent of Madame Valere as Anna in "Robin des Bois." The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph bring the image to life, showcasing the exquisite artistry of the time. This rare and beautiful piece is a testament to the enduring legacy of Madame Valere and her remarkable performance in this iconic opera.
