EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned opera "Il Masnadieri" by Giuseppe Verdi. The image showcases the talented Swedish soprano, Jenny Lind, in her role as the courageous heroine Amalia, alongside Luigi Lablache, a distinguished bass who played Count Massimiliano von Moor. The photograph was taken during a production of the opera at Her Majesty's Theatre in London on July 22nd, 1847. This particular opera holds significance as it was the only one commissioned by London for Verdi. The libretto for "Il Masnadieri" was based on Friedrich Schiller's play "Die Rauber" adding depth and drama to this performance. In this monochrome portrayal, both Lind and Lablache exude passion and talent through their expressions and body language. Their performances transport viewers back to the 19th century when music, arts, and entertainment were thriving forms of expression. This wood engraving is an exquisite piece that beautifully captures the essence of Victorian-era operatic performances.

Whether you are an admirer of classical music or simply appreciate historical artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless beauty and evoke emotions reminiscent of a bygone era in musical history.
