1821 Freischutz Opera Performed Weber Agathe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from Act Two, Scene One of Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischütz" (The Marksman), depicts the pivotal moment between Agathe (played by the soprano) and Aennchen (played by the mezzo-soprano) in the head ranger's house. In this historical production, which premiered in 1821, the two women are shown in a warm and intimate setting, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of candles. The scene opens with Agathe expressing her love and devotion to Max, the Freischütz (Markssman), who has been absent for some time. Aennchen, Max's childhood friend, enters the room and reveals that she has been waiting for him, unbeknownst to Agathe. The tension between the two women builds as they each confess their love for Max, ultimately leading to a heart-wrenching confrontation. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this opera, which has been performed countless times since its premiere in Berlin over 190 years ago. The image captures the essence of the scene, with the two women's expressions conveying the complex emotions of love, jealousy, and betrayal. The intricate details of the set design and costumes further transport us back in time, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Weber's "Der Freischütz." The opera's score, composed by Carl Maria von Weber and featuring libretto by Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne and Friedrich Kind, is renowned for its haunting melodies and intricate orchestration. The opera's supernatural themes and exploration of love and betrayal continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a timeless masterpiece of the Romantic era.
