  • 1 the Roots of Birtwistle's Theatrical Expression
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89534-7 - Harrison Birtwistle’s Operas and Music Theatre David Beard Excerpt More information 1 The roots of Birtwistle’s theatrical expression: from Pantomime to Down by the Greenwood Side With six major operas, around eight music dramas, and a body of incidental music to his name, Harrison Birtwistle has made a significant contribution to contemporary opera and music theatre during a period that spans more than forty years. This study is concerned not only to reflect the importance of these stage works by examining them in some detail but also to convey their varied musical and intellectual worlds. Previous studies have rightly focused on Birtwistle’s perennial concerns, such as myth, ritual, cyclical journeys, varied repetition, verse–refrain structures, instrumental role-play, layers and lines.1 These characteristics highlight consistency throughout Birtwistle’s oeuvre and are a mark of his formalist stance. By contrast, this book is motivated by a belief that the stage works – in which instrumental and physical drama, song and narrative are combined – demand interpre- tation from multiple, inter-disciplinary perspectives. While not denying obvious or important relations between works, what follows is rather more focused on differences: Birtwistle’s choice of contrasting narrative subjects, his collaborations with nine librettists, his varied pre-compositional ideas and working methods, his experience with different directors, producers and others, all distinguish one stage work from another. A recurring theme is therefore a consideration of ways in which Birtwistle’s initial concepts are informed, altered or conveyed differently in each case. Moreover, as ideas evolve, from the composer’s musical sketches to the final production, mul- tiple meanings accrue that are particular to each drama.

  • Harrison Birtwistle Selected Reviews
    Harrison Birtwistle Selected Reviews The Last Supper BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (January 2017) "The Last Supper was designed as a millennial work. Convened by Ghost (Susan Bickley), Jesus and his disciples survey some of the miseries visited upon the world since their last meeting in Jerusalem. References to looking through “the three zeros of the year 2000” sounded awkward at the time, as did the hurried apologies to “Jews, blacks, Aborigines, women, gypsies [and] homosexuals”, but Birtwistle’s music has worn well. Its heft and humour spring from the page in sharp flecks of pizzicato strings, sinister tattoos from the side drum, coppery, cimbalom-like chords and thick knots of sound from double basses, low woodwind and accordion. The choral writing (sung by the BBC Singers) is superb." - Anna Picard, The Times **** "When The Last Supper was new, in a pre-9/11 world, some of its concerns felt outmoded. How wrong we were. Now it has proved its enduring pertinence." - Fiona Maddocks, The Observer "Birtwistle’s music feels tremendously lyrical, even opulent 17 years after the opera’s premiere. It’s quite often blunt and uncompromising, but the Latin choral motets that accompany Christ’s three visions summon remarkable poise and focus in his choral writing, and his lengthy foot-washing scene, in which Christ humbles himself before each of his disciples in turn, has an astonishing sense of pathos even amid its wailing orchestration that’s only increased by its inexorable repetitions." - David Kettle, The Arts Desk ***** "Birtwistle’s ritualistic writing is marvellous, layer upon layer of skewed time and perspective underpinned by a grim, grand pace unfolding from the bottom of orchestra.

The Royal Opera celebrates the 150th anniversary of Strauss’s birth with a new production of Die Frau ohne Schatten , one of three Strauss operas being presented at the Royal Opera House this Season, all with librettos by Hugo von Hofmannsthal on mythical themes. Elektra was revived in October 2013 and Ariadne auf Naxos will be revived in June 2014. This production of Die Frau ohne Schatten is new to the Royal Opera House, and is a co-production with La Scala, Milan, where it was first seen in 2012. German director Claus Guth makes his UK and Royal Opera debut with this production, which explores themes of the search for identity and the psychological power of dreams, and vividly illustrates the plight of the central character of the Empress, a woman trapped between two repressive worlds.
