English theatricals at Paris - the Salle Ventador, 1844. Creator: Unknown

English theatricals at Paris - the Salle Ventador, 1844. A production of Shakespeares Othello on the French stage. The Salle itself is perhaps the most beautiful in the world. The rich gilding upon a white ground, relieved by the deep crimson velvet, which gives the only colour used in the theatre, places the splendid audience in the richest possible framework, and the boxes receding as they grow higher, and free from all division, so as to show every person as in the section of an amphitheatre...A foreign audience in the mass are only judges of the right and wrong, the interest for the good and against the bad characters of a drama. The sufferings therefore which prompt the stern justice of Othello, the conscience which is the indecision of Hamlet, are beyond their appreciation. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
