Marie Dorval (1798–1849) was a renowned French actress of the early 19th century, celebrated for her emotive power and dramatic presence on the stage. She is particularly remembered for her role as Adèle d'Hervey in the play "Antony" by Alexandre Dumas père (1802–1870), a work that contributed significantly to the Romantic movement in French theatre. Dorval's portrayal of Adèle, a character torn between duty and passion, showcased her exceptional ability to convey deep and conflicting emotions, earning her critical acclaim and solidifying her status as a leading actress of her time.

Playing opposite Dorval was Pierre-Martinien Bocage (1797–1863), known simply as Bocage, a distinguished French actor who took on the titular role of Antony. His performance was marked by a powerful intensity that perfectly complemented Dorval's Adèle, creating a dynamic and compelling chemistry on stage. The final scene of Act I is a pivotal moment in the play, where the complex relationship between Adèle and Antony unfolds with dramatic tension and fervor, highlighting the actors' talents and the play's exploration of themes such as forbidden love and social constraints.

"Antony" was a groundbreaking work by Dumas, which premiered in 1831 and became an instant success, in part due to the electrifying performances of Dorval and Bocage. The play's controversial subject matter and departure from classical theatrical conventions resonated with the contemporary audience's growing appetite for Romantic drama, and the roles of Adèle d'Hervey and Antony became iconic in the history of French theatre, thanks in no small part to the memorable interpretations by Marie Dorval and Bocage.
