EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the historic premiere of Giacomo Meyerbeer's opera "Robert le Diable" at the Théâtre-Italien in Paris on January 27, 1831. In this dramatic scene from Act 4 (Scene 2), titled "The Signing of the Compact," the central character Robert Liebig5, portrayed by the renowned tenor Adolphe Nourrit, is torn between his love for Alice (played by the soprano Adelina Patti) and the seductive allure of Bertram, the Devil, depicted by the baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure. As the clock strikes twelve, Bertram, in the form of a monk, presses Robert to sign a compact, sealing his soul to the devil. Alice, with a desperate plea, manages to save her lover from this fatal decision. In this moment, the clock strikes twelve once more, and Bertram, unable to resist the call of the hour, vanishes back to Hell. This powerful scene, filled with tension and suspense, highlights the timeless battle between good and evil, love and temptation. The intricate set design, elaborate costumes, and the emotional intensity of the performers, all come together to create a truly unforgettable theatrical experience. Meyerbeer's opera "Robert le Diable," with its innovative use of grand opera techniques, revolutionized the world of opera and paved the way for the Romantic era. This image serves as a testament to the rich history of opera and the captivating performances that continue to enthrall audiences to this day.
