Tobias Hoheisel's designs a combination of bare outlines and the neurotic flaring coIors of Edvard Munch's expressionistic world provide the setting for Nikolaus Lehnhoff's production of Janacek's three-act opera for the Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Lehnhoff's sparse and intense production achieves a harrowing reaIism in its depiction of the suffocating and frustrated emotions that are destroying a straight-laced, middle-cIass household.
Janacek's incandescent score, pIayed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Andrew Davis, has seIdom achieved such perfect unity with the dramatic action as it has in this Iandmark production. There is an extraordinary magnetic tension in the performance of Nancy Gustafson who sings Kat'a, the free spirit visibIy consumed by emotions too powerfuI for the sIender frame that contains them. FeIicity Palmer plays the Kabanovicka, Kat'a's mother-in-law, a repressed figure of fearsome authority, with complete command over her shuffling, weIl-meaning son, Tichon, sung by RyIand Davies. |
