EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Wagner's early opera, Die Feen, first performed in 1834. The opera tells the story of Prince Arindal and his fairy wife, Ada, whose origins he is forbidden to inquire into. However, as human nature dictates, curiosity gets the better of him with the usual consequences.
In this image, we see Prince Arindal gazing lovingly at his enchanting fairy wife Ada. Their forbidden love is palpable as they navigate the challenges that come with their mismatched origins. The tension between duty and desire is beautifully portrayed in their expressions and body language.
Wagner's Die Feen may not be as well-known as some of his later works, but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the composer's early career and development. The themes of love, curiosity, and consequence are timeless and resonate with audiences even today.
As we admire this historical print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of the power of music and storytelling to transport us to other worlds and explore complex emotions. It serves as a reminder that some questions are best left unanswered while others can lead us down unexpected paths with unforeseen outcomes.
