EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of 19th century Paris, specifically to the premiere of Giuseppe Verdi's renowned opera Aida at the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo. The image showcases a detailed costume sketch for the King character, beautifully crafted by Auguste Mariette. The regal figure stands tall, his cape flowing behind him as he points assertively towards an unseen subject. Every intricate detail of his ornate attire is captured in this portrait: from the majestic headwear adorning his head to the traditional clothing that drapes elegantly over his frame. The performer's gaze is directed away, perhaps lost in deep contemplation or preparing for a momentous scene on stage. This illustration and painting transports us into a world where art and culture merge seamlessly with historical events. It serves as a testament to both Verdi's genius composition and Mariette's artistic prowess in bringing characters to life through their costumes. As we admire this fine art painting, we are reminded of the enduring power of performing arts events throughout history. This 19th-century style portrayal invites us to imagine ourselves witnessing this theatrical performance firsthand, immersing ourselves in an era when royalty graced stages across Europe with their presence
