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. -

THE ROYAL OPERA 4.48 PSYCHOSIS OPERA IN ONE ACT BASED ON THE PLAY BY SARAH KANE MUSIC PHILIP VENABLES CONDUCTOR RICHARD BAKER DIRECTOR TED HUFFMAN DESIGNER HANNAH CLARK LIGHTING DESIGNER D.M. WOOD VIDEO DESIGNER PIERRE MARTIN SOUND DESIGN SOUND INTERMEDIA MOVEMENT DIRECTOR SARAH FAHIE CHROMA LYRIC HAMMERSMITH 24 | 26 | 27 | 28 MAY 2016 A CO-COMMISSION WITH THE GUILDHALL SCHOOL OF MUSIC & DRAMA GENEROUS PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT FROM THE RVW TRUST Welcome We’re delighted to be working together to mount this new opera. These performances of 4.48 Psychosis mark the culmination of a three- year residency for composer Philip Venables at the Royal Opera House and Guildhall School of Music & Drama. The residency is an attempt both to make the most of the extraordinary artists working at the Royal Opera House around the year and to pull on the structured and supportive learning and creative environment available at the GSMD, and is part of a wider set of training initiatives between the two organizations. It feels completely right for this piece to be presented at the Lyric Hammersmith, a theatre with a long history of staging musical work and also the work of Sarah Kane. Adaptation is often at the heart of opera-making. Throughout history, the opera canon has been made up of familiar stories re-told in new forms. Art has always been derived from other art. The addition of music to a text opens up a new psychological space; music expresses something that lies in the empty spaces between and within words. Philip explores the eternal question of whether music or text takes the lead, showing us that there are still new ways to enliven opera’s old forms and enabling us to hear Sarah Kane’s extraordinary text with fresh ears. -

NEWS from the JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION Vol. 1, No. 2 (2014) Paris Opera Ballet Receives the 2014 Jerome Robbins Award
Jerome Robbins in Paris. Photo by Jesse Gerstein. NEWS FROM THE JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION Vol. 1, No. 2 (2014) Paris Opera Ballet Receives The 2014 Jerome Robbins Award In 1995, Jerome Robbins wrote to the directors of his Foundation, “I would like there to be established a prize to some really greatly outstanding person or art institution. The prizes should lean toward the arts of dance and its associative collaborators but not necessarily be defined by that surround.” In explanation, he cited many callings, from teachers and designers to choreographers and presenting organizations, enjoining the directors to award the prize only when warranted by the distinction of the person, organization, or project. The Jerome Robbins Award was most recently presented to the Paris Opera Ballet at a reception on June 19, 2014 at the Palais Garnier in Paris. Jerome Robbins enjoyed a close relationship with the Paris Opera Ballet, which he often described as his second artistic home (after New York City Ballet). Since Robbins first presented his works at the Palais Garnier in 1974, the com- pany has had 14 of his ballets in its repertory. The presentation of the 2014 Jerome Robbins Award was preceded by a performance of Robbins’ ballet, Dances at a Gathering. The award was presented to Brigitte Lefèvre, the director of the Paris Opera Ballet, on behalf of the Company. (Upon Ms. Lefèvre’s retirement in October, 2014, Benjamin Millepied, former New York City Ballet principal dancer, became the new director.) At the reception, Ms. Lefèvre accepted the award — a statue of a sailor from Jerome Robbins’ ballet, Fancy Free, sculpted by Robin Heidi Kennedy.
