With <em>The Seventh Seal<\/em> Bergman spoke to this modern query in a medieval setting rendered at once awesome and intimate in chiaroscuro. A knight, Antonius Block (Max von Sydow), and his squire J\u00f6ns return disillusioned from the Crusades to the hysteria of plague-infested fourteenth-century Sweden. On the shore Block encounters Death and challenges him to a game of chess, playing for time to perform one significant act in life. What is timeless about this existential passion play is the humanity of its characters, who seem to shun allegory like a kind of narrative death: Block, whom the Crusades took away from the real\u2014the only proof of God\u2014to the torment of the abstract; J\u00f6ns, cynical sensualist who articulates the void; Death himself, a picture of inconclusiveness; and the dreamer Jof and his wife, actors traveling into light.”<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Judy Bloch<\/h4>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"> <\/h1>\n<hr>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"> <\/h1>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"> <\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"p8CwDTCmfk\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/brazilianopera.com\/repertoire\/the-seventh-seal\/\">The Seventh Seal<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"“The Seventh Seal” — IBOC\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"http:\/\/brazilianopera.com\/repertoire\/the-seventh-seal\/embed\/#?secret=p8CwDTCmfk\" data-secret=\"p8CwDTCmfk\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"wef-measure\" style=\"max-width: 450px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-page\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/seventhsealopera\/\" data-width=\"450\" data-height=\"500\" data-tabs=\"\" data-hide-cover=\"false\" data-show-facepile=\"true\" data-hide-cta=\"false\" data-small-header=\"false\" data-adapt-container-width=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"wef-measure\" style=\"max-width: 450px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-page\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/brazilianopera\/\" data-width=\"450\" data-height=\"500\" data-tabs=\"\" data-hide-cover=\"false\" data-show-facepile=\"true\" data-hide-cta=\"false\" data-small-header=\"false\" data-adapt-container-width=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[bandcamp width=350 height=853 album=1056508337 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 package=1448401342]     Epic Eye Magazine – Interview with Jo\u00e3o MacDowell about The Seventh Seal       Act I Preview concerts wore presented in the Fall of 2016.   Moments from Act 1 (12min): Act 1 in full – (1hour – chamber version): Dramatis Personae: Death – […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1920,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\n<title>The Seventh Seal -
