Iolanta,
the last of Tchaikovsky’s operas, was premiered at the Mariinsky
Theatre in St. Petersburg in December 1892, as part of a double-bill
with his ballet The Nutcracker. Though eclipsed in fame by
the ballet, Iolanta is nonetheless one of Tchaikovsky’s
most beautiful and moving works. The opera tells the poignant tale
of King René, who shields his daughter Iolanta from the knowledge
that she is blind by keeping her secluded from the world. When the
Count Vaudémont accidentally chances upon Iolanta in a rare
moment alone, he falls in love with her at first sight. Discerning
that she is blind, he tries to explain the delights of visual beauty.
Iolanta is confused, but responds to Vaudémont’s passion.
They are interrupted by the King, who is at first furious that someone
has dared to tell Iolanta that she is blind. However, Ibn-Hakia, a
Moorish physician, informs the King that it is indeed Iolanta’s
desire to see that is essential for her cure. With the physician’s
help, Iolanta gains her sight, and the King gives his blessing to her
union with Vaudémont.
