EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the climactic moment from Massenet's opera "Don Quichotte" (1885), specifically from Act Four, Tableau 10, titled "The King, Grateful to Rodrigo for Delivering Spain from the Moors." In this scene, King Alphonse X of Castile (represented by the regal figure on the right) expresses his deep gratitude to Rodrigo, El Cid (depicted in the center), for his heroic efforts in saving Spain from the Moorish invasion. The name "El Cid," which translates to "master warrior," is bestowed upon Rodrigo by the king as a mark of respect and recognition for his bravery and loyalty. The historical significance of this scene is rooted in the real-life exploits of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, a 11th-century Castilian nobleman who became a legendary figure in Spanish history. Massenet's opera, based on the play "Don Quixote" by Maurice Ordonneau, is an adaptation of the classic tale that explores the themes of chivalry, honor, and love. This photograph, taken by the renowned French photographer F. Liebig for the firm Masquarade et Cie, showcases the grandeur and splendor of the opera production. The exquisite costumes, intricate set design, and the expressive body language of the performers all contribute to the dramatic and emotional impact of this scene. As the curtain falls on Act Four, the audience is left with a sense of awe and admiration for Rodrigo's unwavering commitment to his country and his people. This iconic image serves as a testament to the enduring power of music and theater to evoke strong emotions and transport us to another time and place.
