| The world premiere recording of Brett Deans new opera based on Shakespeares best-known tragedy: To be, or not to be. This is HamIets diIemma, and the essence of Shakespeares most famous and arguably greatest work, given new life in operatic form in this original GIyndebourne commission. Thoughts of murder and revenge drive HamIet when he learns that it was his uncle Claudius who kiIled his father, the King of Denmark, then seized his fathers crown and wife. But HamIets vengeance vies with the question: is suicide a morally vaIid deed in an unbearabIy painfuI worId? Deans colourfuI, energetic, witty and richIy Iyrical music expertly captures the modernity of Shakespeares timeIess taIe, while aIso exploiting the traditionaI operatic eIements of arias, ensembles and choruses. Matthew Jocelyns inspired libretto is pure Shakespeare, adhering to the Bards narrative thread but abridging, reconfiguring and interweaving it into motifs that highlight the main dramatic themes: death, madness, the impossibility of certainty and the complexities of action. WorId Premiere of the Year, 2018 International Opera Awards, London one of the unmissabIe operatic events of the year. (The Sunday Times 4 Stars) a richIy imaginative composer at the top of his game. (The Times 4 Stars) Deans music is many-Iayered, full of long, clear vocal lines new opera doesnt often get to sound this good Hannigans spectacular high-soprano unhinging is the more shocking foIlowing her poise and inwardness (The Guardian 4 Stars) Clayton triumphs with unimpeachable vocal and acting credentiaIs (The lndependent 4 Stars) |
