EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the 1831 production of Giacomo Meyerbeer's opera "Robert le Diable" at the Théâtre-Italien in Paris, depicts a pivotal moment in Act 2, Scene 6. In this scene, Isabella, played by the renowned soprano Marie-Délia Viardot, lends her beloved Robert, portrayed by the tenor Robert Liebig2, armor to participate in the tournament. However, the seemingly selfless act is yet another manipulation by Bertram, who is in fact the real devil in disguise. Robert, who has lost everything and is desperate to regain his honor and wealth, gratefully accepts Isabella's offer, unaware of the dangerous consequences. The tournament scene is a crucial moment in the opera, as it sets the stage for the dramatic events that unfold in the following acts. Meyerbeer's "Robert le Diable," which premiered in 1831, was one of the most popular operas of its time and helped establish Meyerbeer as a leading figure in the world of opera. The production featured stunning sets, elaborate costumes, and a cast of world-class singers, making it a must-see event for the Parisian elite. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the historical production and the intricate details of the opera's staging. The image captures the intensity and drama of the scene, with Isabella's loving expression contrasting sharply with the ominous presence of Bertram, who lurks in the background, ready to strike. The detailed armor and the dramatic lighting add to the overall effect, making this a truly captivating image from opera history.
