Fin de partie, Opéra national de Paris, 30 April 2022
Palais GarnierHamm – Frode Olsen Clov – Leigh Melrose Nell – Hilary Summers Nagg – Leonardo CortelazziPierre Audi (director)Christof Hetzer (designs)Urs Schönebaum (lighting)Klaus Bertisch (dramaturgy)Orchestra of the Opéra national de ParisMarkus Stenz (conductor)Images: Sébastien Mathé/OnP Modernism’s endgame, modernist opera’s endgame, opera’s endgame: all have been proclaimed time and time again. One might say the same for Romanticism, Classicism, sonata, symphony, and other isms and genres. Whatever the truths of the matter—we can no longer justifiably speak in the singular, if ever we could—this first opera by György Kurtág, first heard in Milan in 2018 and now receiving its French premiere, suggests that twilight, however prolonged, has once again proved as productive, as challenging, as illuminating as first dawn or zenith.

Richard Jones continues his traversal of the Ring, with a new production of The Rhinegold, conducted by Martyn Brabbins with John Relyea as Wotan and Leigh Melrose as Alberich. Then moving forward somewhat in time, Annilese Miskimmon directs the company's new production of Korngold's Die Tote Stadt (The Dead City), conducted by Kirill Karabits with the leading roles taken by Rolf Romei and Alison Oakes. On a lighter note, the company continues its G&S theme with the most serious of the Savoy operas, The Yeomen of the Guard, directed by Jo Davies and conducted by Chris Hopkins with Anthony Gregory as Colonel […]
