EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts the renowned German actor Robert Liebig1 (1792-1854) in the role of Robert in Act 1, Scene 7 of Giacomo Meyerbeer's groundbreaking opera, "Robert le Diable" (1831). In this pivotal moment of the production, Robert, inspired by the seductive and mischievous character of Bertram, the real Devil in disguise, makes a fateful decision that leads him to lose everything he possesses. Meyerbeer's opera, which premiered in Paris, was a sensation, marking a turning point in the history of music and theater. The work, which combined elements of grand opera and Romanticism, featured a compelling storyline, innovative musical techniques, and spectacular stage effects. Liebig's portrayal of Robert, a nobleman torn between his love for the virtuous Isabelle and his fascination with the dark and mysterious Bertram, was a critical and popular success. In this scene, Robert, under Bertram's influence, signs a pact with the devil, promising him his soul in exchange for wealth and power. As he signs the contract, he is surrounded by demons, symbolizing the sinister forces that have ensnared him. The image captures the moment of Robert's surrender, as he gives in to temptation and seals his fate. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its documentation of a pivotal moment in the performance history of a seminal work in the annals of opera. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the artistry and drama of a bygone era, and to appreciate the enduring power of music and theater to captivate and inspire.
