Approvato

The intense and longstanding relationship between Edward II and his favourite Piers Gaveston remains obscure and uncertain for historians, however there is no doubt that it provoked the monarch to neglect his state responsibilities. His excesses and a permanent confrontation with his court ended with the king being removed from the throne in violent circumstances. Christopher Marlowe gave credit to this dissolute portrait of Edward II in his drama of the same name. First staged in 1592, it was the point of departure for Lessons in Love and Violence, the opera premiered at the Royal Opera House of London. The libretto by Martin Crimp gives a prominent role to Isabel, his wife and queen, casting her as the instigator of the plot. After the international success of the opera Written on Skin (2012), heard at the Teatro Real four years ago, George Benjamin illuminates this sordid story with a concentrated and intense musical score at once innovative and rooted in a tradition resonating with Pelléas et Mélisande and Britten. The work was written as a co-commission and large co-production between the operas of London, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Lyon and Chicago, as well as the Liceu of Barcelona and the Teatro Real.
