Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

One of our first ports of call was the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum - and, similarly, we were not dis- appointed. A unique building to start with, it has the air of an intensely personal, one might say idiosyncratic, collection - along the lines of the Frick Collection in New York, but with greater individuality. On our first visit, and again eighteen months ago, we made a point of visiting several times and at different hours of the day, so as to see the rooms as Mrs Gardner might have done, from the brightness of morning sunshine through to the twilight.

    THE Aldeburgh CONNECTION The Enchanted Garden Walter Hall, Sunday, October 26, 2008, 2:30 pm Krisztina Szabo has had to withdraw from today’s performance. However, we are very fortunate and happy that ALLYSON McHARDY has been able to take her place. We wish to thank the following: Patsy and Jamie Anderson for sponsoring Nathalie Paulin Françoise Sutton for sponsoring Allyson McHardy Lorraine Kaake for sponsoring Philip Carmichael We also thank James and Connie MacDougall for providing the floral arrangement for the stage. We are performing on the Edith McConica Steinway. The Enchanted Garden Songs of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) Nathalie Paulin, soprano Allyson McHardy, mezzo Philip Carmichael, baritone Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata, piano Musical history, from time to time, comes up with pairs of composers, over whom we seem to be expected to cast our votes: Bach and Handel, Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, Verdi and Wagner . One such pair was Debussy and Ravel. Their most ardent partisans have tended to make opponents of these two, especially in their own time. Fauré (Ravel’s teacher) was no admirer of Debussy; Poulenc, as a young man, made light of Ravel’s achievements while extolling those of Debussy. We are fortunate, at a century’s distance, to be able to appreciate the merits of both masters, while observing the differences as clearly as we may. Unlike Debussy, Ravel had no early romantic effusion in his music, vocal or otherwise; for him, beauty of sonority was always a prime consideration, an indication of what might be called his classical pre- occupation.

    Shakespeare and Modern British Opera: Into the Knot Garden

    Michael Graham Royal Holloway, University of London Shakespeare and Modern British Opera: Into The Knot Garden Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music April 2017 Shakespeare and Modern British Opera: Into The Knot Garden Declaration of Authorship This thing of darkness I Acknowledge mine. I, Michael Graham, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: MICHAEL GRAHAM Date: 17/04/2017 2 Shakespeare and Modern British Opera: Into The Knot Garden Abstract To date, the scholarly literature has not sufficiently examined the extent to which Shakespeare’s plays helped to develop a national operatic tradition within the ideological context of modern Britain. This thesis is a contribution towards rectifying this oversight. Chapter 1 outlines the development of Shakespearian musicology, and emphasises the importance of music analysis to the elucidation of opera. Chapter 2 then presents a series of short analyses of modern British Shakespeare operas, and highlights how several of these works depict issues of gender and sexuality in a remarkably frank and sometimes subversive fashion. Chapter 3 explains this thesis’s particular focus on Tippett’s The Knot Garden, a psychoanalytic, operatic version of The Tempest from the late 1960s. It posits a number of reasons why both literary scholarship and musicology have overlooked this composer and his Shakespearian work, and explains the pressing requirement for a detailed close reading of Tippett's Tempest opera that simultaneously situates it within broader musical, cultural, and historical narratives.
