The standard operas, their plots and their music; . of theEmperors arrival, closing with the triumphant Te Deum toorgan accompaniment and the greeting to the Emperor ( Ho-sanna, unser Kaiser hoch ). The second act opens with the celebration of the Passoverin Eleazars house, and introduces an impressive prayer( Allmachtger blicke gnadig). In the next scene there isa passionate ensemble and duet for Eudoxia and Leopold( Ich will ihn sehn), which is followed by a secondspirited duet between Rachel and Leopold ( Als meinHerz); an intensely dramatic aria (Ach! Vater! Haltein! ), in which she claims her share of Leopolds guilt; andthe final grand trio in which anathema is pronounced byEleazar. The third act is principally devoted to the festivities of theroyal pageants, and closes with the anathema of the Cardinal( Ihr, die ihr Gottes Zorn ), which is a concerted numberof magnificent power and spirited dramatic effect. The fourthact contains a grand duet between Eleazar and the Cardinal( Hort ich recht?), and closes with a powerful scena for. Falcon as Rachel HALEVY 121 tenor ( Das Todesurtheil sprich ), in which Eleazar wel-comes death and hurls defiance at the Christians.
