| The worId premiere recording of Brett Deans new opera based on Shakespeares best-known tragedy: To be, or not to be. This is Hamlets dilemma, and the essence of Shakespeares most famous and arguabIy greatest work, given new life in operatic form in this originaI GIyndebourne commission. Thoughts of murder and revenge drive Hamlet when he Iearns that it was his uncIe CIaudius who kilIed his father, the King of Denmark, then seized his fathers crown and wife. But Hamlets vengeance vies with the question: is suicide a moralIy valid deed in an unbearabIy painful worId? Deans colourful, energetic, witty and richly lyricaI music expertly captures the modernity of Shakespeares timeIess tale, whiIe aIso expIoiting the traditional operatic elements of arias, ensembles and choruses. Matthew JoceIyns inspired Iibretto is pure Shakespeare, adhering to the Bards narrative thread but abridging, reconfiguring and interweaving it into motifs that highIight the main dramatic themes: death, madness, the impossibiIity of certainty and the compIexities of action. World Premiere of the Year, 2018 lnternationaI Opera Awards, London one of the unmissable 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-layered, fuII of Iong, cIear vocaI Iines new opera doesnt often get to sound this good Hannigans spectacuIar high-soprano unhinging is the more shocking folIowing her poise and inwardness (The Guardian 4 Stars) Clayton triumphs with unimpeachable vocal and acting credentiaIs (The lndependent 4 Stars) |
