LADVENANT MARY, MARY


Actress Maria Valencia Ladvenant and Quirante, called "La Divina", lived only twenty-four years, but short-lived was enough to dazzle on stage the eighteenth-century English society. It was a real bright star at the time. Born in Valencia in the summer of 1741 in a family of comedians of race and soon took on the stage in the shadow of the long family tradition. Because at the end of the theaters in Valencia, Ladvenant family is forced to move to Madrid. After undergoing a brief and successful opera education, Maria debuts in the company of Jose Parra and then acted on that of businessman Jose Galvez.

The art of Mary Ladvenant off coincided with the arrival in Madrid in 1759 of Charles III, who came from Naples to succeed his deceased brother Ferdinand VI on the throne English. The new monarch was entertained in the theater of the Buen Retiro in Madrid with a musical comedy in style with the most celebrated actors, including Mary Ladvenant. The cream of the kingdom surrenders to the art of Valencia and from then on is known as "the lady of music" or "Divine."

A brilliant Mary triumphs in Madrid at the Coliseo de la Cruz and other pens pointers as the Buen Retiro and the Prince, scenes of his dizzying escalation of the theatrical hierarchy, from the eighth lady, funny, excellent to finally first lady and author. The actors were idolized by the people and the nobles, yet frowned. Mary caused such fervor that his supporters waving golden silk ribbons, broke his face with his great rival, Maria Alcazar, a remarkably gifted comic and always maintained a duel on the stage.


La Valenciana, beautiful and ambitious, dominates all genres, from drama to comedy, memorable through song and dance sessions that charm the public. It was a time when the reformist momentum influenced the theater, and writers such as Nicolas Fernandez or Jose Cadalso Moratin, fans of Mary Ladvenant, advocated by the new "internal recitation" of the characters. This means that the players give up the chatter and exaggerated gestures to interpret what is indicated in the text. Naturally demanded the theater critic. Mary was among the first actresses to embrace this line of interpretation of renewal, defined as "unique and great."

With works by Calderón, Lope and Tirso, was so moved by the common people as contemporary intellectuals such as Gallows, Iriarte or Moratinos, who inspires a legendary line of English literature: "What ties the wind messes gold ...! ". Cotarelo critic, when he referred to Mary, said of her: had beauty, grace, pathetic voice, eloquent look, face animated, brands of wit and love of their profession.

Success, always claim jealousy and envy, he also would bring troubles: war almost to death between her and the actress-entrepreneur Mary Hidalgo, a voluntary annual retreat to recover from so much bitterness and a period of imprisonment in prison, imposed by the Board of theaters because of some calumnies thrown to the king against his enemy to defend those around her and want to sink it professionally. Finally free of charge, will have plenty of new theatrical triumphs.
