EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the captivating world of Sapho, brought to life on the stage by the inimitable Olga Nethersoles in Clyde Fitch's adaptation from Alphonse Daudet's novel (1884). This evocative image captures Nethersoles in the title role of the ancient Greek courtesan, her statuesque form clad in a flowing toga, exuding an air of sensuality and allure. First performed in England at the Adelphi Theatre on 1st May 1902, Sapho shocked and delighted audiences with its bold portrayal of a woman who defied societal norms. Nethersoles' performance as the voluptuous and passionate Sapho was a sensation, earning her critical acclaim and cementing her reputation as a leading lady of the stage. This photograph, taken from A Souvenir Of Olga Nethersole In Some Of The Characters Of Her Repertoire (New York, 1900), captures Nethersoles in the midst of Act I, her expressive face and intense gaze drawing the viewer in. The image is a testament to the power of the theatre to transport us to another time and place, and to the enduring appeal of a captivating performance. Join Olga Nethersoles and Clyde Fitch as they bring Sapho to life on the stage, a production that continues to enthrall and delight audiences over a century later.
