1898 Banquet Korsakov Merchants Novgorod Opera Performed Rimsky Sadko
EDITORS COMMENTS
Scene One: The Hall at Novgorod Where the Merchants are Holding a Banquet, from the opera "Sadko" by Rimsky-Korsakov (1898) This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment from the first scene of Rimsky-Korsakov's opera "Sadko," which is set in the ancient Russian city of Novgorod. In this image, we see a grand hall filled with merchants, who have gathered to hold a banquet in honor of the legendary hero Sadko. The opera, which was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1900, is based on a popular Russian folktale about Sadko, a merchant from Novgorod who is renowned for his wisdom and kindness. In the story, Sadko travels to the underwater kingdom of the Sea Tsar to rescue his wife, who has been taken captive by the Sea Tsar's daughter. In this scene, the merchants have gathered in the hall to celebrate Sadko's return from his journey to the underwater kingdom. They raise their glasses in a toast to the hero, and the atmosphere is one of merriment and camaraderie. The merchants are dressed in colorful robes and headdresses, and their faces are filled with joy and laughter. The photograph, taken in 1898, captures the essence of the opera's setting and the spirit of the scene. The intricately decorated hall, with its ornate columns and colorful tapestries, is a testament to the wealth and prosperity of Novgorod during this period. The merchants, with their jovial expressions and lively conversation, add to the sense of energy and excitement in the room. Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sadko" is a masterpiece of Russian opera, and this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the opera and the rich history of Novgorod. The image is a reminder of the power of music and storytelling to transport us to another time and place, and to connect us with the stories and traditions of the past.
