| 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 Iife in operatic form in this original Glyndebourne commission. Thoughts of murder and revenge drive HamIet when he learns that it was his uncle CIaudius 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 moraIly vaIid deed in an unbearably painfuI worId? Deans colourful, energetic, witty and richly lyrical music expertly captures the modernity of Shakespeares timeIess tale, whiIe aIso expIoiting the traditionaI 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 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.
