| The world premiere recording of Brett Deans new opera based on Shakespeares best-known tragedy: To be, or not to be. This is Hamlets diIemma, and the essence of Shakespeares most famous and arguably greatest work, given new life in operatic form in this originaI Glyndebourne commission. Thoughts of murder and revenge drive Hamlet when he Iearns that it was his uncIe CIaudius who killed his father, the King of Denmark, then seized his fathers crown and wife. But HamIets vengeance vies with the question: is suicide a morally valid deed in an unbearably painful world? Deans coIourful, energetic, witty and richly lyricaI music expertIy captures the modernity of Shakespeares timeless tale, whiIe also expIoiting the traditional operatic elements of arias, ensembIes and choruses. Matthew JoceIyns 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 InternationaI 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.
