EDITORS COMMENTS
Masses Paul et Virginie: An Unhappy Tale of Love and Devotion from the Late 19th Century The story of Paul et Virginie, penned by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre in the late 18th century, remains a fascinating and intriguing piece of historical literature. Its ludicrously dramatic plot and splendidly unhappy ending have surprised many that more composers have not attempted to bring this idiotic story to life through opera. In this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we see a scene from one such opera production, likely from the late 19th century. The image captures the moment of parting between Paul and Virginie, two young lovers who must be separated due to unforeseen circumstances. The sadness and longing in their eyes are palpable, as they bid each other farewell, knowing that they may never see each other again. The plot of Paul et Virginie is a tragic one. The two young protagonists, Paul and Virginie, grow up together on a deserted island, blissfully unaware of the outside world. When they are eventually discovered by a shipwrecked sailor, they are taken to the mainland, where they are introduced to the ways of civilization. However, Paul is soon sent away to study in Paris, leaving Virginie behind. Heartbroken, she pines away for her beloved Paul, and when she hears of his engagement to another woman, she takes her own life. Despite its unhappy ending, the story of Paul et Virginie continues to captivate audiences with its themes of love, devotion, and the harsh realities of life. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the timeless nature of this idiotic yet compelling story, and the many ways it has been interpreted and reimagined throughout history.
