1873 Conflict Ivan Korsakov Maid Milano Opera Performed Revival Rimsky Scala Tells Tsar Chaliapin Pskov
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned Russian bass, Feodor Chaliapin, in the title role of Tsar Ivan the Terrible in a historic revival of Rimsky-Korsakov's opera "Pskov" at La Scala in Milano, Italy, in 1873. The opera, which tells the story of the conflict between Tsar Ivan and the city of Pskov, is a powerful and dramatic work that showcases Chaliapin's exceptional vocal abilities and acting skills. Rimsky-Korsakov's "Pskov," also known as "The Maid of Pskov," is a historical opera that premiered in 1873 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. The work was based on a Russian legend about the brave maiden Fevronia, who sacrifices herself to save her city from the wrath of Tsar Ivan. The opera's complex and intricate score, with its rich orchestration and memorable melodies, has made it a favorite among opera lovers and scholars. In this production at La Scala, Chaliapin's portrayal of Tsar Ivan was hailed as a triumph. His powerful and commanding presence on stage, combined with his masterful interpretation of the role, left audiences in awe. The revival of "Pskov" at La Scala marked a significant moment in the history of Russian opera, and Chaliapin's performance as Tsar Ivan remains a defining moment in his illustrious career. This photo print, taken during the performance, captures the intensity and drama of the moment, with Chaliapin's expressive face and regal posture conveying the complex emotions of the character. It is a testament to the enduring power of opera to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the rich and complex history of music and theater.
