EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1926, captures the intense moment during the opera "Turandot" by Giacomo Puccini, where Calaf, portrayed by tenor singer Karl Liebig, solves the three riddles posed by the cold-hearted princess Turandot. In this historical production, Calaf, determined to win Turandot's hand in marriage, bravely steps forward to answer the riddles, much to the astonishment of the crowd. Calaf's victory, however, comes with a condition. He offers Turandot a chance to save herself from marriage to him by guessing his name before the following dawn. The challenge sends a wave of excitement through the audience, as Turandot, known for her cruelty and inability to show mercy, is given a chance to redeem herself. The photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the dramatic tension and theatrics of the opera, with Liebig's intense gaze and the intrigued expression of Turandot, played by soprano singer Elisabeth Schumann, in the background. The image is a testament to the rich history of Puccini's masterpiece and the captivating story of love, sacrifice, and redemption it tells. The production of "Turandot" in 1926 was a groundbreaking moment in the world of opera, with its innovative staging and powerful performances. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of opera and the timeless story of "Turandot" that continues to enchant audiences to this day.
