EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an historic opera performance at the Palais Garnier, Paris Opera House, in 1885. The opera depicted is "Sigurd," composed by Ernest Reyer with a libretto by Camille du Locle and Alfred Blau, based on the Old Norse poem "Siegfried" by Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin. In this stunning image, the audience is fully immersed in the dramatic production as they witness the climactic moment of the Valkyrie scene. The ethereal figures of the Valkyries, depicted in elegant and flowing costumes, gracefully glide across the stage, their arms outstretched as they carry the slain hero, Sigurd, to Valhalla. The opera, first performed in 1884, was a groundbreaking work for its time, showcasing innovative musical techniques and a unique blend of mythology and romance. Reyer's score, with its rich orchestration and expressive vocal parts, brought the ancient Norse legend to life in a new and captivating way. The photograph itself is a testament to the power of the performance, with the dramatic lighting and the intense focus of the performers bringing the scene to life. The intricate details of the costumes and the expressive facial expressions of the actors add to the overall sense of magic and wonder. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of opera in the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the enduring power of music and storytelling to transport us to another world, and to move and inspire us in ways that words alone cannot.
