About this title

Synopsis

The Queen of Saba is an opera composed by Carl Goldmark in 1881, with a libretto by Mosenthal. The opera is divided into four acts and is based on the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon. The story follows the Queen of Saba as she travels to Jerusalem to meet King Solomon and test his wisdom. Along the way, she falls in love with the king's chief minister, Adoniram, and must navigate the political and personal challenges that arise from their forbidden romance. The opera is known for its lush orchestration and soaring vocal melodies, and has been praised for its dramatic tension and emotional depth. Overall, The Queen of Saba is a classic opera that explores timeless themes of love, power, and wisdom, and continues to captivate audiences over a century after its premiere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
