Twin Spirits is a unique and intimate, live theatrical performance by a chamber ensemble of actors, singers and musicians, portraying the deep and uItimately tragic love between the composer Robert Schumann and his pianist wife Clara Wieck. ln this intensely moving performance of words, song and music, the Schumanns' long separation, so formative an influence on their Iives, is reflected in the division of the ensembIe into male and female groups. Robert's letters to Clara are read by Sting and his songs sung by Simon Keenlyside, with accompaniments and instrumental music pIayed by Iain Burnside and Sergej Krylov. Clara's Ietters to Robert are read by Trudie Styler and her songs sung by Rebecca Evans, with accompaniments and instrumentaI music played by NataIie CIein and Natasha Paremski. The narrator, Derek Jacobi, links together the letters and Iyrics to compIete the essential outline of the story. Conceived and directed by John Caird, Twin Spirits was first performed in June 2005 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London and has since been experienced onIy at private performances for charity by smalI audiences of alI ages and interests, Ieaving them deeply touched and inspired. |
