| The world 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 original Glyndebourne 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 Hamlets vengeance vies with the question: is suicide a moralIy valid deed in an unbearabIy painful worId? Deans colourfuI, energetic, witty and richIy Iyrical music expertIy captures the modernity of Shakespeares timeless taIe, while also exploiting the traditionaI operatic eIements 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 impossibility of certainty and the complexities of action. WorId Premiere of the Year, 2018 lnternational 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, fulI of Iong, clear vocaI lines new opera doesnt often get to sound this good Hannigans spectacuIar high-soprano unhinging is the more shocking foIIowing her poise and inwardness (The Guardian 4 Stars) CIayton triumphs with unimpeachable vocal and acting credentials (The Independent 4 Stars) |
