1898 Korsakov Learn Merchant Novgorod Opera Performed Reunited Rimsky Seventh Shores Sadko
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the seventh scene from the opera "Sadko" by the renowned Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov. In this scene, titled "The shores of Lake Ilmen," Sadko, the central character, is reunited with his beloved wife after a long and perilous journey. The serene waters of Lake Ilmen reflect the tranquility and happiness that envelops the scene. Sadko, dressed in the regal attire of a successful merchant, stands with his wife, as they embrace each other, their faces filled with joy and relief. The opera, first performed in 1898, tells the legend of Sadko, a merchant from Novgorod who journeys to the underwater kingdom of the Sea Tsar to save his city from destruction. After his successful mission, he returns to Novgorod, only to find that his wife has been falsely accused of treason and is about to be burned at the stake. Rimsky-Korsakov masterfully captures the historical and cultural essence of medieval Russia in this opera, with its rich orchestration and evocative melodies. The scene at the shores of Lake Ilmen is a testament to the triumph of love and loyalty, as Sadko learns that he is now the wealthiest merchant in all of Novgorod, and his wife is exonerated. The peaceful setting of the lake and the reunion of Sadko and his wife serve as a poignant reminder of the power of love and the importance of staying true to one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
