  • Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV
    Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV With onstage guests directors Brian Large and Jonathan Miller & former BBC Head of Music & Arts Humphrey Burton on Wednesday 30 April BFI Southbank’s annual Broadcasting the Arts strand will this year examine Opera on TV; featuring the talents of Maria Callas and Lesley Garrett, and titles such as Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) and The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), this season will show how television helped to democratise this art form, bringing Opera into homes across the UK and in the process increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation. In the past, television has covered opera in essentially four ways: the live and recorded outside broadcast of a pre-existing operatic production; the adaptation of well-known classical opera for remounting in the TV studio or on location; the very rare commission of operas specifically for television; and the immense contribution from a host of arts documentaries about the world of opera production and the operatic stars that are the motor of the industry. Examples of these different approaches which will be screened in the season range from the David Hockney-designed The Magic Flute (Southern TV/Glyndebourne, 1978) and Luchino Visconti’s stage direction of Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) to Peter Brook’s critically acclaimed filmed version of The Tragedy of Carmen (Alby Films/CH4, 1983), Jonathan Miller’s The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), starring Lesley Garret and Eric Idle, and ENO’s TV studio remounting of Handel’s Julius Caesar with Dame Janet Baker. Documentaries will round out the experience with a focus on the legendary Maria Callas, featuring rare archive material, and an episode of Monitor with John Schlesinger’s look at an Italian Opera Company (BBC, 1958).

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.

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.

    PRESSQUOTES Robyn Lyn Evans TENOR Ruggero / La rondine / West Green House Opera / 2021 Cond. Jonathan Lyness / Dir. Richard Studer "Robyn Lyn Evans reveals a brilliantly smooth and light sound as Ruggero..." (MusicOMH / Sam Smith) "Evans adds powerful singing to well-measured acting in the part." (markaspen.com) Devereux / Roberto Devereux / Welsh National Opera / 2019 Cond. James Southall / Dir. Alessandro Talevi “Devereux was sung by Robyn Lyn Evans. It was revelatory. A young singer, with the virility and passion the part needs but also the high lyricism in the voice to carry off all the emotion and charm the character requires. It was one of the most exciting evenings I can recall in recent years of many, many performances.” (Larkreviews) Lord Cecil / Roberto Devereux / Welsh National Opera / 2019 Cond. Carlo Rizzi / Dir.

  • Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera
    Verdi’s Un ballo in Maschera - A survey of the studio and selected live recordings by Ralph Moore Given the popularity of Un ballo in maschera, it is surprising how relatively few studio recordings it has received: only a dozen, considered below. I have added to those, for their worth and interest, five live radio broadcasts and two recordings of live performances. The most recent was recorded twenty-five years ago. I have excluded any not sung in Italian. It is performed and recorded under two guises: its original version, narrating the assassination of Gustavus III of Sweden and, recast to avoid the spectacle of a monarch being assassinated on stage, its adaptation under pressure from the Roman censors to a new location in Boston, Massachusetts, with the characters’ names changed accordingly; thus Gustavus rather absurdly becomes Riccardo, Earl of Warwick, governor of Boston during the British colonial period. Modern stage productions tend to revert to the Swedish setting but the only recordings below to do so are Karajan’s in 1989 and the live production with Pavarotti in Vienna in 1986. It is expertly structured, paced and balanced – close to flawless as operas go and nowhere as far- fetched in the action or as unbelievable in motivation as some others, as long as you make allowance for a bit of jiggery-pokery to do with fortune-telling and magic herbs. Its trio of main characters are credible and sympathetic; Riccardo/Gustavo is a likeable tenor-hero whose character is portrayed in some depth; he evinces the usual romantic ardour but also a sense of humour; Amelia is passionate and principled without being sentimentalised; Renato/Anckarström is not the vengeful monster of the type we see in Don Carlo in La forza del destino but a man wracked and tormented by the betrayal of his wife and best friend.
