Continuo

In the face of his prodigious output of consistently fine
music, it’s easy to take Haydn for granted. We enjoy
triumph over adversity, struggle, unjust neglect, and
lives cut tragically short, none of which he suffered.
But the story of how a boy with a good voice, one of
twelve children born to a poor wheelwright and his
wife, became the toast of Vienna, then London, then
the known world, and how fame never swelled his
clever head, makes the plot of Slumdog Millionaire
look commonplace.
Iconic Australian actor John Bell is nearing “Papa”
status himself. Who better to personify the spirit of this
extraordinary humble Joe in a new musical/theatrical/
biographical entertainment by young playwright
Rachel McDonald?
Concerts illustrated with a smattering of letters are
nothing new. This evening goes much deeper and has
to, because Haydn was too busy writing music to bother
with many letters. In fact after he died, a burgeoning
French novelist pen-named Stendhal, invented some
on his behalf. Fake news. Beautifully written, but fake
nonetheless.
McDonald skilfully weaves historically confirmed
sources, real letters and such romantic re-imaginings
into a piece that allows the ever-present, selfdeprecating and funny Haydn to recount his life,
comment on his posthumous reputation and poignantly
reveal some bedroom secrets.
Oh yes, and to re-encounter and admire some of
his greatest work, as performed with impeccable
eighteenth-century finesse by AHE. You will hear it
afresh too, through the ears of its creator.
A unique and unmissable event.
