EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a scene from the renowned opera "Norma" by Vincenzo Bellini, performed at the prestigious Theatre Liceu in Barcelona during the 19th century. The image, created by the skilled hand of Onofre Alsamora through the process of litography, transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and artistic innovation. The opera "Norma," first performed in 1831 in Milan, Italy, tells the story of the Druid priestess Norma, who is betrayed by her lover, Pollione. In this image, we see a group of people, both men and women, engrossed in the performance. The masculine energy of the male musicians is palpable as they play their instruments with intensity, while the feminine grace of the women in the audience is evident in their elegant attire and poised demeanor. The Theatre Liceu, established in 1847, has a rich history in Barcelona's cultural scene. This engraving, created around 1880, offers a glimpse into the past when the theatre was a hub for music and the arts. The intricate details of the stage, the ornate costumes, and the rapt attention of the audience all contribute to the sense of wonder and magic that opera performances evoke. This engraving, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring power of music and the arts to transport us to another world and connect us with the past.
