This work, he hopes, will immortalise the ruthless practice of his political power and the calm contentment brought to him by domestic order, embodied in the humility and childish obedience of his wife Agnes. However the creation of the book becomes a catalyst for his wife’s rebellion. After a first successful attempt at seduction, Agnes uses her new intimacy with the illuminator to change the very content of the book and so forces her husband to see her as she really is. This opens the path for an extraordinary and final act of provocation. (Martin Crimp) AIX-EN-PROVENCE ‘We leave the opera house so in love that we cannot repress a vague feeling of having witnessed the birth of a masterpiece… Benjamin composes music at once haunting and sensual, perfectly built over time and greatly varied throughout the scenes... A great moment of contemporary opera. A great moment of opera itself.’ LE FIGARO (CHRISTIAN MERLIN), 10 JULY 2012 ‘Written on Skin is a true opera, with all its ingredients (love-triangle between wife-husband-lover, love and murder, play within a play, songs, sets, etc.). The music is incredibly beautiful: ribbed textures, subtle colours, flowing harmony of the simplest kind… Written on Skin is the pinnacle of contemporary output.’ LE MONDE (RENAUD MACHART), 10 JULY 2012 ‘Written on Skin is almost certainly headed straight for any list of the best operas of the 21st century so far.’ FRANCE TODAY (JUDY FAYARD), 8 JULY 2012 AMSTERDAM ‘The piece is of wondrous beauty, a miracle of timbral inventiveness, harmonic and melodic beauty and expressiveness...’ PAROOL (ERIK VOERMANS), 8 OCTOBER 2012 ‘Benjamin’s score is a feast for the ears… it carves traces in the soul and you cannot say that of any other modern opera.’ NEWSPAPER THEATRE (OSWIN SCHNEEWEISZ), 8 OCTOBER 2012 LONDON ‘George Benjamin seems to have come to opera with his genius fully formed. Written on Skin… is nothing short of a triumph. As soon as it had finished, I wanted to hear it again… a musical masterpiece.’ THE GUARDIAN (ERICA JEAL), 10 MARCH 2013 ‘Written on Skin… as immaculate as anything composed since the heyday of Ravel… the opera smolders with darker, wilder energies… feels like the work of a genius unleashed.’ THE NEW YORKER (ALEX ROSS), 25 MARCH 2013 VIENNA ‘Benjamin’s music is phenomenal: Delicate, shimmering, sensual, coarse and brutal, tonal and atonal, passionate and sober – but always, always brilliant. Yes, you could also hear Berg, Debussy, Messiaen or Boulez. But Benjamin is Benjamin and as such is gigantic… Opera – it lives! And today!’ KURIER (PETER JAROLIN), 15 JUNE 2013 ‘George Benjamin, one of the most distinguished English composer of his generation, cultivates in his first full- length opera a polystilistic open musical language, which is characterized by highly sophisticated instrumentation, whose beguiling palatable and sensual sound carries the red-hot vocals.’ KLEINE ZEITUNG (ERNST NAREDI-RAINER), 15 JUNE 2013 MUNICH ‘Benjamin’s music moves so sophisticatedly between never-thick orchestral textures and an immediate expressiveness.

In 1976, he entered the Paris Conservatoire to study composition with Olivier Messiaen and piano with Yvonne Loriod. Studies with Alexander Goehr at King’s College, Cambridge followed. His first orchestral work, Ringed by the Flat Horizon, was performed at the BBC Proms when he was only 20; since then his music has been played by major orchestras and ensembles across the world both under his own baton and by leading conductors. His career has been marked by many international retrospectives: Paris, Tokyo, Brussels, Berlin, Strasbourg and Madrid, San Francisco, Lucerne Festival, and the ‘By George’ Festival at London’s Barbican in 2003. He collaborated with playwright Martin Crimp in 2006 for his first operatic work Into the Little Hill, (commissioned by Festival d’automne, Paris, and Ensemble Modern). The association continued with Written on Skin (2012) commissioned by the Aix-en-Provence Festival with an international consortium. Both operas have been played to world-wide acclaim, and are recorded on CDs from Nimbus. A third opera (again with Crimp) for 2018 is commissioned by the Royal Opera House Covent Garden with partners. George Benjamin is a CBE, Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et Lettres, a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts, and has been awarded honorary positions by the Guildhall School, the Royal Academy, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Philharmonic Society.

BACK INSET: JULIAN ANDERSON © MAURICE FOXALL ‘[Anderson and McGuinness] have brilliantly compressed Sophocles’s trilogy into a compelling and dramatic narrative that feels fresh and thrilling… This raw dramatic quality is partly due to McGuinness’s libretto, which keeps its language direct and the pace relentlessly high… But the real magic comes from Anderson’s score, in which the directness of the libretto is simultaneously enhanced and fractured. Indeed, the clash between the score’s elemental rhythmic profile and the shimmering quality of its expanded harmonic language seems at once to slow and speed the action so that each event appears both inexorable and ambiguous. Anderson’s opera thus gives access to the psychology of the action in a way in which few versions have managed, or attempted… The superb solo writing is even eclipsed by that for the chorus… [an] extraordinary retelling of the myth.’ THE GUARDIAN (GUY DAMMANN), 5 MAY 2014 ‘…the result is magnificent… It is not hard to see the present magnum opus, and the operatic genre itself, as a culmination of his intellectual and creative pursuits alike. It is his first opera, yet his music all along has had a powerful dramatic essence… Everything was mentally in place, then, for his bursting into opera, and he had the luck to find the right librettist… [Frank McGuiness] has supplied what seems an eminently settable, elegant condensation of the drama… The superb assurance of the writing, metallically intent but underpinned by a novel harmonic richness, makes it, I think, one of the best things Anderson has done…’ THE SUNDAY TIMES (PAUL DRIVER), 11 MAY 2014 ‘…an extraordinary finale in which Oedipus’s death occurs like a Wagnerian transfiguration, haloed in the warm, rich glow of arguably the most spectacular orchestral writing heard in any opera of the past half a century. For mastery of texture, color and invention, Mr. Anderson sets standards… it is a triumph of sustained intensity that has dramatic impact on its own terms. And its individuality is striking… this is an opera like no other — which makes Mr. Anderson a maverick or a genius; perhaps both. Either way, his Thebans is distinctively impressive.’ THE NEW YORK TIMES (MICHAEL WHITE), 5 MAY 2014 ‘Lyrical, direct and brilliantly performed… Julian Anderson’s compelling opera [is]… A work of skilful compression... [the] music is luminous and vivid, encompassing the broadly tonal and the wildly dissonant. It doesn’t sound like anyone else’s… He has always expanded aural horizons using electronics and microtones – the latter ever present in Thebans… At each dramatic moment, he shifts the sound with subtle imagination… Anderson’s choral writing is perhaps the strongest element in the opera, majestic, fluent and affecting…’ THE OBSERVER (FIONA MADDOCKS), 11 MAY 2014 ‘One of Anderson’s most notable achievements is his ability to allow each line to cut through the orchestral texture. His score is well paced, and the composer’s diverse musical language proves an asset in shading in the variety of characters and situations required over the course of three very different dramas. The complex, ambiguous music nevertheless makes an immediate impact.’ THE STAGE (GEORGE HALL), 6 MAY 2014 ACCLAIM FOR THEBANS JULIAN ANDERSON THEBANS An Opera in 3 Acts Libretto by Frank McGuinness after Sophocles’ Theban Plays was born in London His teachers have included John Lambert, Alexander Goehr and Tristan Diptych won an RPS Prize, he has continued to attract the attention of the musical community as composer, enabler and academic. He has been composer in residence to Sinfonia 21, the CBSO, Cleveland Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and currently the Wigmore Hall. Between 2002-2010 he directed the Philharmonia’s Music of Today series. As an academic he was Professor of Composition at the Royal College of Music, London (1996- 2004) at Harvard University (2004-7), and currently the Guildhall School in London. But it is as composer that he has made the most impact; with commissions from such bodies as the BBC, Nash Ensemble, Cheltenham Festival, London Sinfonietta, and Asko Ensemble. He wrote the opening work, Alleluia for London’s refurbished Southbank Centre and the NMC recording of A Book of Hours won the 2007 Gramophone Award. The Discovery of Heaven was premiered by the LPO in 2012 and won a South Bank Award the same year. In 2013 his work Harmony opened the BBC Proms. Thebans is his first opera. This compelling re-telling of Sophocles’ timeless Theban tragedies focuses on the fate of Oedipus and his daughter Antigone. Anderson and his librettist, Frank McGuinness, have distilled them into a taut drama where murder and incest, political ambition, love and loyalty, hatred and revenge drive everyone on a collision course which can only lead to catastrophe. With a dramatic thrust that pins you to your seat, choral writing of power rarely heard in the opera house, orchestration that speaks of mastery at every stroke, and character portrayals so vivid that you leave the opera house haunted by their ghosts, this is an opera of great importance. The themes of the original – blood, murder, incest, political ambition, love and loyalty – are, if anything, intensified in this bold adaptation. ‘The drama is vivid and strong,’ writes Anderson, ‘I don’t want people to know what’s hit them until they’ve left the opera house.’ The relationship between onstage action and Anderson’s music is a rich and complex one and his mastery of the orchestra is confirmed repeatedly – be it individual details like the black, oily contrabass clarinet which shadows the blind prophet Tiresias or the many alluring, intricate string textures which recur throughout. At the heart of the work is the chorus – first the Citizens of Thebes and then, offstage in the third act, the voices of Gods and the sounds of nature – all expressed in sensitive choral writing of the upmost power. JULIAN ANDERSON THEBANS An Opera in 3 Acts Libretto by Frank McGuinness after Sophocles ‘…a compelling and dramatic narrative that feels fresh and thrilling’ THE GUARDIAN (GUY DAMMANN), 5 MAY 2014 ‘…arguably the most spectacular orchestral writing heard in any opera of the past half a century.

ACCLAIM FOR THEBANS

JULIAN ANDERSON

THEBANSAn Opera in 3 Acts

Libretto by Frank McGuinness after Sophocles’ Theban Plays

Julian Anderson was born in London in 1967. His teachers have included John Lambert, Alexander Goehr and Tristan Murail. Since his 1990 score Diptych won an RPS Prize, he has continued to attract the attention of the musical community as composer, enabler and academic. He has been composer in residence to Sinfonia 21, the CBSO, Cleveland Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and currently the Wigmore Hall. Between 2002-2010 he directed the Philharmonia’s Music of Today series. As an academic he was Professor of Composition at the Royal College of Music, London (1996-2004) at Harvard University (2004-7), and currently the Guildhall School in London.

But it is as composer that he has made the most impact; with commissions from such bodies as the BBC, Nash Ensemble, Cheltenham Festival, London Sinfonietta, and Asko Ensemble. He wrote the opening work, Alleluia for London’s refurbished Southbank Centre and the NMC recording of A Book of Hours won the 2007 Gramophone Award. The Discovery of Heaven was premiered by the LPO in 2012 and won a South Bank Award the same year. In 2013 his work Harmony opened the BBC Proms. Thebans is his first opera.

This compelling re-telling of Sophocles’ timeless Theban tragedies focuses on the fate of Oedipus and his daughter Antigone. Anderson and his librettist, Frank McGuinness, have distilled them into a taut drama where murder and incest, political ambition, love and loyalty, hatred and revenge drive everyone on a collision course which can only lead to catastrophe.

With a dramatic thrust that pins you to your seat, choral writing of power rarely heard in the opera house, orchestration that speaks of mastery at every stroke, and character portrayals so vivid that you leave the opera house haunted by their ghosts, this is an opera of great importance. The themes of the original – blood, murder, incest, political ambition, love and loyalty – are, if anything, intensified in this bold adaptation. ‘The drama is vivid and strong,’ writes Anderson, ‘I don’t want people to know what’s hit them until they’ve

left the opera house.’ The relationship between onstage action and Anderson’s music is a rich and complex one and his mastery of the

orchestra is confirmed repeatedly – be it individual details like the black, oily contrabass clarinet which shadows the blind prophet

Tiresias or the many alluring, intricate string textures which recur throughout. At the heart of the work is the chorus

– first the Citizens of Thebes and then, offstage in the third act, the voices of Gods and the sounds of

nature – all expressed in sensitive choral writing of the upmost power.

A prodigious composer, conductor and pianist, Thomas Adès (b. 1971) has been described by the New York Times as one of today’s ‘most accomplished overall musicians.’

His chamber opera Powder Her Face (1995) has been performed worldwide whilst The Tempest (2004) was commissioned by London’s Royal Opera House and has since been taken up by international houses including New York’s Metropolitan Opera, where it was recorded for a Deutsche Grammophon DVD which subsequently won a Grammy Award.

Adès has won numerous awards, including the 2015 Léonie Sonning Music Prize and the prestigious Grawemeyer Award (for Asyla in 2000), of which he is the youngest ever recipient. Adès was Artistic Director of the Aldeburgh Festival from 1999 to 2008 and coaches piano and chamber music annually at the International Musicians Seminar, Prussia Cove.

‘Adès is as compelling as any contemporary practitioner of his art because he is, first and foremost, a virtuoso of extremes. He is a refined technician, with a skilled performer’s reverence for tradition, yet he has no fear of unleashing brutal sounds on the edge of chaos. Although he makes liberal use of tonal harmony he subjects that material to shattering pressure. He conjures both the vanished past and the ephemeral present… Like Berg, the 20th-century master whom he most resembles, he pushes ambiguity to the point of explosive crisis… Never have Adès’s extremes collided more spectacularly… in his hands Buñuel’s cool, eerie scenario takes on a tragic volatility… Throughout, Adès pulls off the Stravinskyan feat of making prior styles sound like premonitions of his own… Liberation is achieved not only by a ritual of repetition but also through a visionary aria for Leticia… When the spell of immobility resumes, seraphic harmonies give way to a colossal, demonic setting of fragments of the Libera Me, with bells ringing anarchic changes. On this note of mystical dread the opera closes, no exit in sight.’THE NEW YORKER (ALEX ROSS), 22 AUGUST 2016

‘Packed full of provocation and ideas… Amidst the brutal descent into anarchy, Adès’s skill at being ironic shines through time and again. It’s not every day that the premiere of an experimental opera receives a standing ovation.’DER SPIEGEL (WERNER THEURICH), 29 JULY 2016

‘The moments of rupture are articulated with precision and an unwavering awareness of the possibilities of the genre… [This is] the opera Adès needed to write in order to be himself. Like its predecessors, the music remains astonishing in its confidence and dramatic versatility; but here, when Adès’s elusive aesthetic itself becomes integrated into the drama’s vertiginous psychological landscape, the music acquires another edge entirely. The effect is intoxicating and at times quite brutal; for all its scorching passion, the opera leaves one chilled to the bone.’THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT (GUY DAMMANN), 19 AUGUST 2016

‘The most important opera of the year, proves it’s here to stay… Remarkable… An opera of decadence quickly decaying… Whole musical forms, such as the waltz or the chaconne, fall apart just as the dinner party does…’THE LA TIMES (MARK SWED), 9 AUGUST 2016

REVIEWS

SYNOPSIS

Opera in 3 Acts

Based on Luis Buñuel’s surrealist classic El ángel exterminador, Thomas Adè’s third opera sees a collection of society’s grandees inexplicably trapped in a room. The libretto, adapted from the original Buñuel-Alcoriza screenplay by the composer together with the director Tom Cairns, brilliantly captures their descent into anarchy.

Featuring a cast who all remain on stage for the majority of the piece, this is a true ensemble opera, and the skill with which Adès delineates the many intricacies and undercurrents present over its densely-packed span is breathtaking. A large and masterfully deployed orchestra is coloured by guitar, piano and ondes martenot – the latter soaring above proceedings as an eerie manifestation of the nameless force that ensnares the guests. Like the shipwrecked characters of The Tempest, the cast of this new opera are held in a state of entrapment and dramatic stasis. Like the glittering high-society world of Powder Her Face, the dinner party guests are denizens of a nightmarish world of aristocratic pretension. ‘In a sense, this is a child of those two operas,’ Adès observes, ‘but that comparison has receded, and this opera is a very different animal. Probably a scarier animal.’

Thomas AdèsTHE

EXTERMINATINGANGEL

Opera in 3 ActsLibretto by Tom Cairns in collaboration

Based on the screenplay by Luis Buñuel and Luis Alcoriza

‘Stunningly inventive… In this audacious opera the music digs

deep. Mr. Adès’s wild, searing score explores the emotional undercurrents of the story and fleshes out the horror

of the characters’ situation. Over all, this riveting, breathless, score — full of

quick-cutting shifts, pointillist bursts, and episodes of ballistic intensity — may be his best work. If you go to a

single Met production this season, make it this one.’
