EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense moment from Act Three of the opera "Mascagni's Marat/Sadomasochism" (also known as "Gianni Schicchi" or "I Giuochi di Marat"), performed in 1921. The image features the Prince, disguised as a revolutionary, holding a dagger and standing next to Mariella, who recognizes his true identity but resolves to flee Paris with him. The historical backdrop of the French Revolution adds an extra layer of intrigue and drama to the scene. Mascagni's opera, first performed in 1891, is a masterpiece of Italian verismo, a theatrical movement that focused on portraying realistic and authentic human emotions. In this production, the Prince, disguised as a revolutionary named Schicchi, infiltrates the home of Marat, the radical journalist and political figure, to save his beloved Canio from being falsely accused of murder. The Prince's plan is successful, but the consequences are far-reaching, leading to a dramatic confrontation in Act Three. The photograph, taken during a performance by Piccolo Music-Lyric Theatre, showcases the intensity and passion of the opera's characters. The Prince, played by a dashing and determined actor, gazes intently at Mariella, played by a beautiful and resolute actress, as they make their plans to escape the chaos of Paris. The use of dramatic lighting and the actors' expressive faces add to the overall effect, making this a truly captivating image from the rich history of opera. Mascagni's Marat/Sadomasochism remains a beloved work in the operatic repertoire, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the passion and intrigue that have made it a classic of the genre.
