EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the character Count Almaviva from the renowned opera "The Marriage of Figaro". Created in 1905 by Luigi Sapelli, this gouache on paper artwork beautifully captures the essence of this beloved comedic opera. "The Marriage of Figaro" is an opera buffa composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1786. Based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, it tells the story of a day filled with madness and misadventures as Count Almaviva tries to seduce his servant's bride-to-be. This particular design was created for a performance at La Scala in Milan, Italy. The costume itself is truly remarkable, featuring elaborate plumed Spanish hats and feathered accessories that exude nobility and grandeur. The theatrical gesture and pose of Count Almaviva add depth to his character, emphasizing his farcical nature within the courtly setting. Luigi Sapelli's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of both Italian and Spanish influences in this flamboyant design. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns make this costume stand out on stage, enhancing the overall visual spectacle of Mozart's masterpiece. As we admire this exquisite piece from Giancarlo Costa's private collection, we are transported back to a time when classical music performances were accompanied by visually striking costumes that brought characters to life. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty found within opera and its ability to captivate audiences through both sight and sound.
