EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Act 2, scene 2 of GOLDMARK/SABA LIEBIG's opera "Die Konigin von Saba," first performed in 1875. The scene depicts Assad, torn between his duty and his heart, as he declares his passionate love for the Queen of Sheba. Despite being engaged to marry the High Priest's daughter Shulamith, Assad finds himself enamored by the enchanting queen.
The rich history and dramatic tension of this opera come alive in this stunning image. The intricate costumes and expressive gestures of the performers transport us back to a time when love and loyalty were tested against a backdrop of political intrigue and forbidden desire.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the timeless themes that have captivated audiences for generations - love, sacrifice, betrayal, and redemption. The music swells with emotion as Assad pours out his heart to the Queen of Sheba, knowing that their love is doomed from the start.
This print serves as a window into a world filled with passion and drama, where characters grapple with impossible choices and fate hangs in the balance. It is a testament to the enduring power of opera to move us deeply and stir our souls with its beauty and complexity.
