A man from another country is sentenced to death by a tyrant. Heliane, the tyrant's wife, appears before the man in protest. The man and Heliane are attracted to each other, and finally Heliane shows him a single stitch of herself. The man commits suicide, and Heliane, while defending her purity, confesses that she had love for the man. The angry tyrant tells his wife that if she is truly pure, she could bring the man back to life... The \"precocious genius\" Korngold completed his fourth opera, \"The Miracle of Heliane,\" at the age of 30. Having already gained worldwide acclaim for \"The City of Death,\" which he composed at the age of 23, \"Heliane\" further enhanced his reputation.The theme of this opera, based on the work of Kurtnaker, an Expressionist writer of the same generation as Korngold, is that \"the world is redeemed by universal love,\" and Korngold was more concerned with bringing sensuality to the forefront and adding dramatic and bewitching music reminiscent of Wagner than making sense of the plot. After Korngold's death, the music was not as dramatic as it had been in the past. The work was forgotten after Korngold's death, partly because it was classified as \"decadent music\" by the Nazis, but also because it might have regained popularity earlier (as in \"The City of Death,\" for example) had the story been a little better organized. However, the real pleasure of listening to Korngold is to savor this gorgeous sound.
