Item Overview

Description

Artist: AUGUSTE-FRANCOIS GORGUET (1862-1927) Size: 22 3/4 x 30 7/8 in./57.7 x 78.5 cm Imp. Dupré, Paris Written by Massenet, Esclarmonde is based on the medieval tale Parthénopéus de Blois, in which a Byzantine empress and sorceress is suddenly given control of the kingdom when her father abdicates, thus separating her from her lover Roland. Using her powers, she sends him to a magical island where she visits him in secret every night, never revealing her identity. During one of these visits, she gives him a sword which guarantees his victory in any battle provided he remains faithful to her. Ultimately, they are torn apart repeatedly, identities are revealed and then hidden again, all leading toward a happy ending in which the knight and his empress are reunited. For a slightly different treatment of the same opera, see Choubrac's design (French Opera Posters, 31).
