Attacking Bent Borodin Chap Gallantry Igor Khan Marry Opera Performed Respects Tartar Turns Vladimir Decent
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Igor Borodin as Khan Kontchak in an 1890 production of the historic opera "Igor" by Alexander Borodin. The scene portrayed here shows the Tartar Khan, traditionally depicted as a fierce and bent on attacking Putivl, displaying an unexpectedly decent and respectable character. In the opera's narrative, Igor, portrayed by Borodin, is a brave and gallant prince who seeks the hand of the beautiful Yaroslavna in marriage. However, her father, Prince Vladimir, is hesitant due to the ongoing conflict between the Rus and the Tartars. Despite his initial intentions to attack Putivl, Khan Kontchak, played by Borodin, surprises everyone with his graciousness and understanding. He allows Vladimir's daughter to marry Igor, demonstrating a level of respect and decency that goes beyond the expectations of the time. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the opera "Igor," which premiered in 1890. Borodin's portrayal of Khan Kontchak as a decent and respectable character adds depth and complexity to the opera's narrative, making it a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences to this day. The image itself is a testament to the artistry and skill of Borodin as an actor, as well as the production team behind the 1890 staging of "Igor." The intricate details of the costumes, the expressive facial expressions of the actors, and the overall production design transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the opera as it was meant to be seen and heard.
