Source text - English Regarding Ira Aldridge’s time in Paris. There are several accounts of Ira Aldridge winning rave reviews for his performances at the Odéon Theater. However, these historians seem to have gotten this wrong. The misunderstanding likely stems from a chance encounter Aldridge had at the Universal Exhibition, known today as The World’s Fair. In a diary entry at the end of April 1867, Aldridge wrote that the event had been resplendent with over 42,000 exhibitors and visitors that included two emperors and some 80 royal personages. While there, Aldridge met the Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen, who wrote of the exchange in his autobiography saying that Ira “was just now playing to Parisians at the Odeon, where he took the role of Othello.” However, such a performance was never documented in Paris papers. While Aldridge had been well received in performances at Boulogne-sir-Mer and Roubaix and Lille near the Belgian border and at Versailles, subsequent engagements in Paris theaters remained elusive. While preparing to return to Paris in the hope of finally taking the stage there, Aldidge grew increasingly weak during rehearsals for a performance in St. Petersburg, Russia. He died there on August 7, 1867.
Translation - French Concernant le séjour d'Ira Aldridge à Paris. Il existe plusieurs témoignages selon lesquels Ira Aldridge a reçu des critiques élogieuses pour ses représentations au théâtre de l'Odéon. Cependant, ces historiens semblent s'être trompés. Ce malentendu est probablement dû à une rencontre fortuite d'Aldridge à l'Exposition universelle, connue aujourd'hui sous le nom d'Exposition Mondiale. Dans un journal de la fin avril 1867, Aldridge écrit que l'événement a été resplendissant avec plus de 42 000 expositeurs et visiteurs, dont deux empereurs et quelque 80 personnalités royales. Pendant son séjour, Aldridge a rencontré l'auteur danois Hans Christian Andersen, qui a relaté l'échange dans son autobiographie en disant qu'Ira "jouait en ce moment devant les Parisiens à l'Odéon, où il a joué le rôle d'Othello". Cependant, une telle performance n'a jamais été documentée dans les journaux parisiens. Alors qu'Aldridge avait été bien accueilli lors de représentations à Boulogne-sur-Mer, Roubaix et Lille, près de la frontière belge, et à Versailles, les engagements ultérieurs dans les théâtres parisiens restaient insaisissables. Alors qu'il se préparait à retourner à Paris dans l'espoir d'y monter enfin sur scène, Aldridge devint de plus en plus faible lors des répétitions d'une représentation à Saint-Pétersbourg, en Russie. Il y mourut le 7 août 1867.
