EDITORS COMMENTS
Dear Little Denmark" is a captivating theatrical production, showcasing the timeless music and libretto by Paul Rubens (1875-1917). This evocative image, created by the renowned artist John Hassall (1868-1948), transports us back to the Prince of Wales Theatre in London on the opening night of the production on 1st September 1909. The touring company, led by Harry P. Towers, later brought the show to the Opera House in Torquay on 31st October 1910. In this exquisite print, we see a group of young women dressed in traditional Danish national costumes, their puffed sleeves and ornate headdresses reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the story. The women are depicted in a tender moment, gazing out at the tranquil sea and wooden boats, lost in thought or perhaps longing for the dear little Denmark that the title of the production refers to. The intricate details of the costumes and the serene expression on the faces of the women are brought to life by Hassall's masterful brushstrokes. The muted colors and soft lighting add to the sense of nostalgia and romance that permeates the scene. This beautiful image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the enchanting music and story of "Dear Little Denmark" captivated audiences across the country. Paul Rubens' libretto and music for "Dear Little Denmark" were first performed at the Prince of Wales Theatre in 1909, and the production went on to tour extensively, including a stop at the Opera House in Torquay in 1910. This image, created by John Hassall, offers a glimpse into the world of this beloved production and the rich cultural heritage that inspired it.
