The Rake’s Progress is an opera in three acts and an epilogue composed by Scene Two: “The Queen of Hearts” Igor Stravinsky with a libretto written by the poet W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman. The opera was inspired by eight paintings and engravings, entitled A year has gone by and Nick Shadow tells Tom that its time to pay up. Tom A Rake’s Progress (1733-1735) done by 18th-century English artist William begs for more time to pay his debt and Nick demands that Tom look into his Hogarth, which Stravinsky had seen in an exhibition in Chicago in May 1947. eyes and recognize who he is. The debt Tom owes is not his money but his soul. Nick agrees that they can play a simple game of cards on the wager. Tom The story is a parable, which tells the story of the spendthrift Tom Rakewell, defeats Shadow in the hand and tells him he “wishes for nothing else.” Denied who abandons his fiancé, Anne Trulove for the excesses of the city and the his prey, Shadow curses Tom pronouncing, “Hence forth be you insane!” company of one Nick Shadow who is revealed to be the “Devil in disguise.” Tom wastes all his money on highlife, prostitution, drugs and gambling, the Scene Three: “Sleep well, my dearest dear, goodbye” consequences of which lead to his ultimate downfall. Tom has lost his mind and been institutionalized. Anne visits him for the last ACT ONE time. Scene One: “…now is the season” EPILOGUE Tom Rakewell courts Anne Trulove at her country estate. Father Trulove is The players join to finish with the moral, “For idle hearts and hands and minds concerned by Tom’s “reluctance to seek steady employment” and tells him the Devil finds a work to do.” that as long as Anne marries an honest man, he may be poor but that he is resolved that “she will never marry a lazy one.” Tom scoffs at him and declares his intention to “live by my wits and trust to my luck”. Nick Shadow arrives and informs Tom that his “rich uncle” has died leaving him a fortune and they ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS must depart for the city at once in order to settle the account.
