The work i’m featuring today in my Advent Calendar is one that takes its starting point from one of my favourite pieces of music, Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. One of Mahler’s most epic symphonies, in the fourth movement the music turns inward, into a place of mystery, darkness, night and… The post appeared first on 5:4. 5:4 is on Patreon!

[…] Wolfgang Göbbel (lighting) Andrew George (choreography, movement) Emily Piercy (revival choreography) 59 Productions (video) Orchestra of the Royal Opera HouseAlexander Soddy (conductor) This was a Salome best remembered for its singing, at least once beyond the absurdity of prefacing it with ‘God save the King’. (The production might have been adapted, I suppose, to have Herod come onstage to receive his tribute, but that was not to be.) Stepping in for Malin Byström, Elena Stikhina acquitted herself very well in the title role, short notice or not.

Lise Davidsen and Stefan Winke headlining the revival of Stephen Wadsworth's production Wagner's Tannhauser, Bryn Terfel in Rossini's Barber of Seville, Ermonela Jaho as Liu in Puccini's Turandot, Malin Byström as Salome, Puccini's La Boheme with casts including Juan Diego Florez (the very same), and Danielle de Niese, and Jonas Kauffmann returns to the role of Werther in the production where he created the role in Paris (to great acclaim). The revival of Tosca has a lot of interest, Natalya Romaniw sings the role at Covent Garden for the first time (hurrah!) with casts also including Malin Byström (also in the title role), Gwyn Hughes Jones, Freddie De Tommaso […]
