This wonderful title page from 1903 Magazine shows the French opera singer Emma Calvé (1858-1942) as Salomé in the opera "Hérodiade" by Jules Massenet. Emma Calvé was a celebrated Carmen and an acclaimed star of the Belle Époque.

So I was thinking of Manon (as in, the opera by Massenet), and I remembered some fun details that I noticed as a French speaker, specifically concerning the names of the 3 young ladies that Guillot is hanging around in acts 1 and 3 (and that Manon admires in her act 1 aria):

Poussette literally means "stroller" (as in, the vehicle you push small children in) in French XD

Javotte is Drizella's name in the French dub of Disney's Cinderella (apparently, it's meant to be a diminutive of Geneviève or something? but idk).

While it's true that Rosette is a French diminutive of Rose, it's also a word with several different meanings, including a bowknot (you know, the type of knot that shoelaces are typically tied in).

On August 13. 1912 the french Composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) died in Paris. Here we see a original letter and a antique Postcard. Operas like “Werther” and “Manon” are performed around the world.
