1831 Bertram Breaks Destroying Devil Magic Meyerbeer Opera Performed Spell
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the dramatic moment from Act 4, Scene 2 of Robert Schumann's beloved opera "Robert le Diable" (1831) by German composer Giacomo Meyerbeer. The scene, brilliantly depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the pivotal moment when the character Robert, portrayed by tenor Robert Liebig4, breaks the enchanted branch held by the devil Bertram, played by bass-baritone Theodor Wohlleben. The magical branch, held aloft by Bertram, had been casting a spell over Robert's beloved, the innocent Isabelle, played by soprano Emma Albani. The moment Robert breaks the branch, the spell is shattered, freeing Isabelle from Bertram's control and allowing the lovers to be reunited. This historical photograph, taken during a performance at the Théâtre-Lyrique in Paris, offers a glimpse into the rich theatrical history of this opera. The image is a testament to the dramatic intensity and visual spectacle that defined the genre during the Romantic era. Meyerbeer's "Robert le Diable" was a groundbreaking work for its time, blending elements of grand opera, opera comique, and ballet. The opera's innovative score, which included the use of leitmotifs, helped establish Meyerbeer as a leading figure in the world of opera composition. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique and intriguing look into the world of 19th-century opera and the captivating performances that brought these stories to life. The image is a must-have for any opera or music history enthusiast, providing a tangible connection to the past and a reminder of the enduring power of music and theater to transport and inspire.
