1828 Comte Count Ends Final Happily Opera Performed Revealed Rossini


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the final scene of Gioachino Rossini's comic opera "Comte Ory," first performed in 1828. In this production, the Count, played by an unidentified tenor, is revealed to have been perpetrating a series of mischievous schemes to win the affections of several unsuspecting ladies. The scene unfolds as the Count's perfidy is exposed, leading to a chaotic and delightful resolution. The historical context of "Comte Ory" is rooted in the medieval period, with the opera set in 12th-century France. The plot revolves around the Count's attempts to seduce three sisters, each of whom is a nun in disguise. The Count's schemes are thwarted by the cleverness of the sisters and their lover, the Count of Montfort, who ultimately reveals the Count's true identity. This photograph, taken from a production of "Comte Ory," showcases the moment of revelation. The Count, dressed in a colorful and ornate costume, stands center stage, surrounded by the shocked and outraged sisters. The Count of Montfort, played by a baritone, stands to the side, a satisfied smirk on his face. The orchestra, led by an unseen conductor, continues to play the lively and upbeat music that has accompanied the Count's schemes throughout the opera. Despite the Count's deceit, the opera ends on a happy note. The sisters forgive the Count, and he is welcomed back into their lives. This final scene is a testament to the enduring power of forgiveness and the triumph of good over evil. Rossini's "Comte Ory" is a beloved work in the operatic repertoire, known for its witty libretto, memorable music, and engaging characters. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of this timeless opera, transporting us back to the 1820s and the world of Rossini and his contemporaries.
