S. Eliot's verse drama (he corresponded with Eliot to get him to write the libretto), is of course a comedy, and deals with, as he tells himself "unexpected obstacles to a possible marriage"; these obstacles are above all "our own ignorance, or our illusions in our own".

Bass-baritone who enjoyed particular success playing operatic villains such as Pizarro, Scarpia and Mephistopheles The bass-baritone Raimund Herincx, who has died aged 90, was a tall, imposing man who made the most of his physical attributes by incarnating a range of characters from Count Almaviva (in The Marriage of Figaro) to Wotan in Wagner’s Ring – but he enjoyed particular success with villains such as Pizarro (Fidelio), Scarpia (Tosca) and Mephistopheles in Gounod’s Faust. It was, in fact, as the title character, Mefistofele, in Boito’s opera that he had an early success with the Welsh National Opera (WNO) in 1957, going on to sing Germont (La Traviata) and the lead in Verdi’s Nabucco as well as Pizarro and Scarpia with that company.

Bass-Baritone Raimund Herincx Dead At 90
"A tall, bearded, Falstaffian figure, he had a commanding presence and a voice of depth and authority that could seemingly carry the length of a football pitch with minimal effort. ... As Wotan in Wagner's Die Walküre he could out-sing a bank of roaring tubas."
