Own a spectacular piece of operatic history with this original 1912 poster for Jules Massenet’s tragic opera ROMA, performed at the iconic Théâtre National de l’OpĂ©ra in Paris. Created by renowned French artist Georges Rochegrosse, this lithograph captures the drama and grandeur of ancient Rome through exquisite symbolism.
The artwork depicts a pivotal moment of tension: a woman in a blood-red robe brandishing a dagger behind an innocent figure in white robes—a visual metaphor for betrayal and sacrifice. Set against cypress trees and Roman architecture, the scene mirrors Alexandre Parodi’s drama Rome Vaincue that inspired Massenet’s opera.
