EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense moment from the Moscow Private Opera's production of Mikhail Glinka's legendary opera, "Ruslan and Ludmilla," performed in 1902. In this scene, the brave knight Ruslan (portrayed by the esteemed actor A.V. Tomsky) gazes deeply into the eyes of Ludmilla (not depicted), the beautiful princess he has longed for and finally rescued from the wicked sorcerer Chernomor. The opera, first performed in 1842, is considered a cornerstone of Russian music and is renowned for its rich orchestration, memorable melodies, and engaging storytelling. The production by the Moscow Private Opera, which took place over a century after the opera's premiere, showcased the timeless appeal of Glinka's masterpiece and the enduring talent of its performers. Tomsky's portrayal of Ruslan, with his strong and determined demeanor, perfectly conveyed the knight's unwavering love and devotion to Ludmilla. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of music and theater to transport audiences through time and evoke powerful emotions.
