EDITORS COMMENTS
Grete Siegert as Philine in the Opera 'Mignon' by Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896) This photograph captures the enchanting presence of the renowned German soprano, Grete Siegert (1891-1950), in the title role of Philine from the beloved opera 'Mignon' by Ambroise Thomas. The image, taken in September 1927, showcases Siegert's captivating stage charisma and vocal prowess. Thomas' opera, first performed in 1866, is based on the novel 'Fraülein von Barnhelm' by Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin. The story follows the adventures of Mignon, an abandoned foundling, who grows up to become a court singer in Dresden. The opera's most famous aria, 'Liebstes Kind,' sung by Philine, expresses her longing for her unknown father. Grete Siegert's portrayal of Philine was celebrated for its emotional depth and vocal beauty. Her interpretation of the role brought new life to the classic opera and solidified her reputation as one of the leading sopranos of her time. This photograph is a testament to Siegert's extraordinary talent and the enduring allure of Thomas' masterpiece. The image transports us back to a bygone era of opera, where the power of the human voice could captivate audiences and transport them to another world.
