Mlle Marie Cico as Simonne in Les Contes de Boccace at the Theatre du Vaudeville: A Captivating Portrait of a French Actress and Singer This exquisitely handcoloured lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, from the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris 1853, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre. The image features the renowned actress and singer, Mlle Marie Cico, in the role of Simonne in Les Contes de Boccace, a production staged at the Theatre du Vaudeville. Born in 1843, Marie Cico was a celebrated figure in the Parisian theatrical scene, known for her exceptional performances in Orphee aux Enfers and Daphnis et Chloe. Her talent extended beyond the stage, as she was also recognized for her vocal abilities as a singer. However, it was her relationship with her mentor, Jacques Offenbach, that added an intriguing layer to her public persona. The nature of their relationship was a subject of much speculation, with rumors suggesting that they were romantically involved. In this image, Mlle Cico embodies the character of Simonne, a role that showcased her versatility as an actress. The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate lace collar to the elegant drapery of her gown, are brought to life through Lacauchie's skilled hand. The expression on Mlle Cico's face conveys a sense of intensity and passion, making this image a testament to her captivating stage presence. This beautiful lithograph not only offers a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the 1850s but also serves as a reminder of the extraordinary talent and intrigue that surrounded figures like Mlle Marie Cico. Her legacy continues to inspire artists and audiences alike, making this an invaluable addition to any collection of historical theatre imagery.
