Mme. Mallet as Bertha in le Billet de Marguerite: A Captivating Portrayal of Love and Deception in 19th Century Comic Opera This exquisitely hand-colored lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, from the esteemed Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, 1854, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of 19th century comic opera. The image features the renowned French actress, Mme. Mallet, in the role of Bertha, a character from the three-act comic opera, le Billet de Marguerite. The opera, with its intricate plot of love, deception, and mistaken identity, was a popular sensation during the mid-19th century. In this image, Mme. Mallet's expressive face and theatrical costume convey the depth of emotion and drama that defined her portrayal of Bertha. Her elaborate headdress, adorned with feathers and flowers, adds to the opulence and grandeur of the production. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of Mme. Mallet's gown to the ornate patterns of the background, transport us back to the historic Lyrique theatre in Paris, where this opera was performed. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the visual appeal of the print, adding a touch of vibrancy and life to the image. As we gaze upon this stunning representation of Mme. Mallet as Bertha, we are reminded of the rich history of theatrical performance and the enduring allure of the comic opera genre. This lithograph serves as a testament to the artistry and skill of Alexandre Lacauchie and the Galerie Dramatique, as well as the captivating talent of Mme. Mallet.
