Kort verkbeskrivning (sk "nötskal")
|
(BILDTEXT) Om Judith (Stina Tornberg) som så älskar sitt folk att hon är beredd att mörda Holofernes (Greger Erdös), som hon kommit att älska, för dess befrielse. 1993 sattes operan, med musik av skotten Ian McQueen, upp med stor framgång i London, på en studioscen till English National Opera, under namnet "Line of Terror". |
Presscitat
|
"McQueens music was high voltage stuff " Opera News, New York, E.T. 1987
“ totally authentic operatic delights ... cries out to be performed now in this country…Somehow a Maxwell Davis-ish style has acquired the flexibility to be Straussian or even Puccinian on occasion, and the ecstatic top Ds of the soprano part (Judith – gloriously taken by Stina Tornberg – are conventional and totally authentic operatic delights.” Paul Driver, Financial Times, 21 juli 1987
“This was an immediate success for the 33-year-old composer… The first British performance of this exciting new piece is eagerly awaited; all praise to Vadstena for commissioning it” Rodney Milnes, Opera London 1987
“Taken by terror... here we have been, Venturing and Studioing away... while there was a born opera composer beavering away abroad just waiting to be "discovered". Wake up, everyone... Line of Terror says something in a refreshingly non-didactic way about terrorism, mainly through a chorus as volatile and unreliable as the one in Turandot...The piece is expertly structured and paced, bustling along yet punctuated with big-boned lyrical outbursts. These are extremely rewarding to sing... And while there is always something interesting going on in the nine-piece orchestra, it seldom covers the voices: the words come through consistently. Such basic operatic skills are rare, and much to be treasured." Rodney Milnes, The Times 1993
”Librettist Iwar Bergkwist equips the heroine with some last-minute hesitation and compassion, thereby making room for a lullaby before the assassination. McQueen’s music, involving a sort of leitmotiv technique, with faint echoes of his teachers Peter Maxwell Davies and Per Nörgard, was brought to life by the gifted soprano, baritone, countertenor (a renegade soldier) and a hardworking chorus and orchestra under Stefan Dässman.” Eva Redvall, Opera News, 2 januari 1988 |
