The world premiere recording of Brett Dean?s new
opera based onShakespeare?s best-known tragedy: To
be, or not to be. This is Hamlet?sdilemma, and
the essence of Shakespeare?s most famous and
arguablygreatest work, given new life in operatic
form in this originalGlyndebourne commission.
Thoughts of murder and revenge driveHamlet when he
learns that it was his uncle Claudius who killed
hisfather, the King of Denmark, then seized his
father?s crown and wife.But Hamlet?s vengeance
vies with the question: is suicide a morally
validdeed in an unbearably painful world?
Dean?s colourful, energetic, witty and richly
lyrical music expertly captures the modernity of
Shakespeare?s timeless tale, while also exploiting
the traditional operatic elements of arias,
ensembles and choruses. Matthew Jocelyn?s inspired
libretto is pure Shakespeare, adhering to the
Bard?s narrative thread but abridging,
reconfiguring and interweaving it into motifs that
highlight the main dramatic themes: death,
madness, the impossibility of certainty and the
complexities of action.
