Tobias HoheiseI's designs a combination of bare outIines and the neurotic flaring coIors of Edvard Munch's expressionistic worId provide the setting for Nikolaus Lehnhoff's production of Janacek's three-act opera for the GIyndebourne FestivaI 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, middIe-cIass household.
Janacek's incandescent score, played by the London PhiIharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Andrew Davis, has seldom 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 powerful for the slender frame that contains them. FeIicity PaImer pIays the Kabanovicka, Kat'a's mother-in-Iaw, a repressed figure of fearsome authority, with compIete command over her shuffIing, welI-meaning son, Tichon, sung by Ryland Davies. |
