1831 Bertram Devil Failed Graves Meyerbeer Nuns Opera Performed Promises Spirits Summons Vows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the dramatic moment from Act 3, Scene 7 of Robert Schumann's favorite opera, "The Huguenots" by Giacomo Meyerbeer. The scene depicts the character Bertram, played by the renowned bass-baritone Robert Liebig3, summoning the spirits of deceased nuns from their graves. Bertram, a vengeful and vindictive Huguenot leader, is determined to punish those who have betrayed his cause. In this scene, he calls upon the spirits of the nuns who failed to keep their vows of chastity, threatening to add Robert Liebig's character to their number. The historical context of this opera is significant, as it was first performed in 1831 during a time of great political and religious turmoil in Europe. The Huguenots, a Protestant sect, were facing increasing persecution and violence from the Catholic majority, leading to a wave of emigration and conflict. Meyerbeer's opera, with its grandiose score and intricate libretto, reflected the tumultuous times and captured the public's imagination. The role of Bertram, with its powerful vocals and dramatic intensity, became a favorite of many operatic tenors, including Robert Liebig3. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of opera and the powerful performances of the past. The image captures the intensity and drama of the scene, with Liebig's expressive face and the ethereal spirits of the nuns looming in the background. The historical significance of the opera and the iconic status of the role of Bertram make this photograph a valuable addition to any opera or music history collection.
