Set in a pretty Swiss Alpine hamlet the villagers are celebrating the betrothal of Amina to the wealthy young landowner Elvino, with the exception of Lisa, the local innkeeper, who had hoped to marry Elvino herself. A stranger and local aristocrat, Count Rodolfo, arrives to wish the couple well, but his obvious attraction to Amina arouses Elvino's jealousy. Amina's mother reminds the locals of the village's nocturnal apparition and asks them to leave for the night. Rodolfo retires to the inn where he is recognized by Lisa, who visits him in his room, but flees when she hears an outside noise, leaving her handkerchief behind. Walking in her sleep and talking of her forthcoming marriage to Elvino, Amina suddenly enters. Rodolfo departs but she is discovered there by Elvino, who had been summoned by Lisa, and the villagers who had arrived to apparently pay their respects to the Count. As a result Elvino decides to break the engagement leaving Amina dazed and grief-stricken. He also refuses to believe the Count's protestations of her innocence and decides to marry Lisa instead, but is again totally disillusioned when Teresa produces the handkerchief that Lisa left in Rodolfo's room. At that moment Amina appears from the nearby mill again sleepwalking. The Count explains somnambulism and to everyone's delight Elvino awakens Amina and begs her forgiveness. The pair are reunited in love and live happily ever after. Bellini's hauntingly beautiful score uses these emotional events to create one of his greatest masterpieces that includes many of his most famous arias, ensembles and choruses. Julie Edwardson's delightful new production created in 2010 for the Opera Conference comes to Adelaide for the first time with a stellar cast conducted by Benjamin Northey.

Jayson Gillham Johann Sebastian Bach Rachmaninoff Hess Percy Grainger Busoni Siloti Schubert Chopin Vladimir Ashkenazy Beethoven Medtner Benjamin Northey Sydney Symphony Melbourne Symphony Orchestra 2017
Jayson Gillham takes you behind the scenes of his fourth album on ABC Classics, devoted to the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Available here: abcmusic.lnk.to/JGbachID Featuring 11 of Bach’s compositions transcribed and arranged, from Rachmaninoff’s arrangement of the Violin Partita in E major into a pianistic showpiece, to Myra Hess’s sublime ‘Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring’, Jayson Gillham’s latest release is a love letter to Bach from a who’s who of the great pianists and pianist-composers – Rachmaninoff, Percy Grainger, Hess, Busoni, Siloti and Petri. “The thing about Bach,” says Jayson, “is that it works so well on whatever instrument combination you put it on. It’s something to do with the way Bach thinks, and the way he writes the music – the content is more important than the timbre of the instrument that it’s played on. And so it’s really effective on all instruments – particularly the piano.” Born 333 years ago in Germany, Bach remains arguably the most important musician in the Western musical tradition. Nowhere does his outsized brilliance shine through more brightly than in his keyboard works, and the influence that they have had on centuries of composers and musicians. This celebrated repertoire allows the full extent of Jayson’s artistry to shine through, revealing the profound depth of his musicality, and a mind constantly interrogating his performance, his instrument, and the music. Born and brought up in rural Queensland, Jayson Gillham travelled for hours to piano lessons in Brisbane, before shooting to fame in a number of prestigious international competitions. He is now recognised as one of the finest pianists of his generation, performing across the globe with the world’s most prestigious orchestras, venues and festivals. ABC Classics signed Jayson for a three-album deal, and his debut record, an all-solo offering surveying music by Bach, Schubert and Chopin, reached No. 1 in the ARIA Charts on release. Soon afterwards the great pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, conducting the Sydney Symphony, chose to make his first-ever recording of a Beethoven concerto with Jayson Gillham at the keyboard. Jayson’s Medtner and Rachmaninoff album, recorded in 2017 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Benjamin Northey, received unanimous praise and was Recording of the Month in Limelight magazine.
