Notes: | An opera by Michael Berkeley and Ian McEwan | |||||
Synopsis: | Michael Berkeley and Ian McEwan's new opera for Music Theatre Wales is a thrilling tale of dark obsession and misplaced passion. At its centre are Maris and Charles: she, the deluded housekeeper - all disquieting diligence and dangerous desire; he, the maestro - charismatic, egocentric and completely oblivious to the growing turmoil around him and the chaos about to be unleashed at the very heart of his household. The brilliantly crafted text by Ian McEwan has all the elements that have made his novels Atonement, Enduring Love, Saturday and On Chesil Beach number one bestsellers. It has inspired a wonderful score from composer Michael Berkeley - music filled with powerful undercurrents, dramatic force and impassioned vocal writing. | |||||
