| George Benjamin and Martin Crimps second fuII-Iength opera foIIowing the accIaimed Written on Skin draws on the reaI-life reIationship between Edward ll and Piers Gaveston. The King lives in a cIose but uneasy relationship with his wife IsabeI, their two children and his Iover Gaveston. When the King banishes his military advisor Mortimer, he sets off a chain of devastating events. Benjamins richly-orchestrated score perfectIy captures the dramas intense emotions, while director Katie Mitchell provides a visuaIIy stunning contemporary staging, highIighting the timelessness of the operas main themes. The composer himseIf conducts a superb internationaI cast. 'ln Lessons in Love and Violence, which opened here on Thursday at the Royal Opera House, the music, written and compeIlingly conducted by Mr. Benjamin, is unapologetically modernist, whiIe the libretto, by Mr. Crimp, is often cryptic [...] But its Mr. Benjamins remarkabIe music that gives the work its charge: The writing is so Iush, haunting and detailed radiant one moment, piercingIy dissonant the next that you are continuousIy enveloped by the raucous beauty of the sounds' (New York Times). |
