EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a pivotal moment from Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischütz," composed in 1821. In the scene, the huntsman Caspar (played by the figure on the left) encounters Samiel, the Devil, in the Wolf's Glen. Samiel, portrayed by the figure on the right, offers to help Caspar win the heart of Agathe by granting him supernatural hunting abilities. However, in exchange for this assistance, Samiel demands Caspar's soul. The historical significance of this opera lies in its innovative use of orchestration and its exploration of supernatural themes. Weber's score, which includes the iconic "Wolf's Glen Scene," showcases the composer's mastery of orchestral color and texture. The opera's story, based on German folklore, delves into the complexities of faith, love, and the supernatural. In this image, we see Caspar's moment of decision. With a determined expression, he agrees to the devil's bargain, sealing his fate. The eerie, otherworldly atmosphere of the Wolf's Glen is palpable, with the flickering torchlight illuminating the ominous figures of Samiel and his companions. The natural beauty of the glen contrasts starkly with the supernatural elements at play, adding to the opera's intrigue and allure. This photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of "Der Freischütz" and the captivating encounter between Caspar and Samiel. It serves as a reminder of the opera's enduring influence on the world of music and theater.
