EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases the renowned French tenor, Toussaint-Eugene-Ernest Mocker, in his iconic role as Danilowitz in Giacomo Meyerbeer's comic opera, "L'Étoile du Nord" (The North Star). The image, created by the skilled hand of Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théatres de Paris in 1853, offers a glimpse into the rich history of 19th-century opera. Mocker's expressive face and dramatic pose convey the depth and passion of Danilowitz, a character from Meyerbeer's lesser-known work. The intricate details of his elaborate costume, complete with a fur-trimmed cape and ornate military decorations, further emphasize his regal and commanding presence. Meyerbeer's operas were renowned for their grandeur and spectacle, and "L'Étoile du Nord" was no exception. The opera, which premiered in Paris in 1854, boasted a star-studded cast that included some of the most celebrated vocalists of the day. Mocker, who was known for his powerful and versatile voice, was a natural choice for the demanding role of Danilowitz. This exquisite lithograph not only serves as a testament to Mocker's extraordinary talent but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century opera. The intricate details of the costume design, the rich colors, and the expressive portrayal of the singer all combine to create a captivating work of art that transports us back in time to an era of grandeur, beauty, and artistic innovation.
