Loreley (Classic Reprint): A Romantic Opera in Three Acts: A Romantic Opera in Three Acts (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Grand romantic opera on the Rhine where love tests loyalty and fate.

Presented in English (as a complete three‑act work), this drama combines mythic river lore with emotional intensity. Set around the banks of the Rhine in the 1500s, it follows Walter, Anna, Hermann, and Loreley as vows, temptation, and honor collide on a quest for true love.

The score and libretto weave dramatic scenes—from the river’s edge to festive wedding rites—through a rich chorus of characters, including the Rhine’s nymphs and the Spirits of the Air. With themes of fidelity, guilt, and redemption, the opera builds toward a poignant confrontation between desire and duty.

• Explores a love triangle set against a legendary Rhine backdrop with vivid, stage-ready imagery.


• Features a multi‑act structure: intimate dialogue, large ensembles, and supernatural elements.


• Offers dramatic moments around wedding preparations, oath‑swearing, and a climactic riverbank confrontation.


• Includes operatic choruses and expressive solos that heighten mood and stakes.

Ideal for readers and performers drawn to mythic romance, tragedy, and the operatic stage.
