About this Event

Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) was a renowned French actress, often referred to as one of the greatest actresses of the 19th century. Born on October 23, 1844, in Paris, she was the daughter of a French father and a Jewish mother from the Netherlands. Bernhardt began her acting career at a young age, joining the Paris Conservatory and later performing in various theaters. She gained fame for her powerful performances and distinctive voice, becoming a leading figure in the world of theater. Known for her roles in classical plays, particularly those of Shakespeare and Racine, she was also celebrated for her ability to portray complex, tragic characters. Bernhardt's career spanned several decades, during which she toured extensively, including performances in the United States, where she became an iconic figure. Apart from her acting prowess, Bernhardt was known for her flamboyant personality and unconventional lifestyle, which challenged societal norms of her time. She also ventured into other artistic fields, including painting and sculpture. Despite health challenges later in life, including the amputation of her leg, she continued to perform until her death on March 26, 1923. Sarah Bernhardt left a lasting legacy in the world of theater, and her influence can still be felt in the arts today.
