L'Heure espagnole Ravel

The Spanish Hour

Approved

The cast and creative team from Mid Wales Opera talk about the story, music, costumes and experiences presenting Ravel’s L'heure espagnole around Wales' smaller venues in the 2018 SmallStages Autumn Tour

Autumn 2018 saw MWO back on the road with the company’s second SmallStages tour, Ravel’s exhilarating one-act bedroom farce, A Spanish Hour (L’heure espagnole). We returned to some favourite spots from our tour of Walton’s The Bear in 2017, as well as a host of new places!

First performed in Paris in 1911, L’heure espagnole is set in a clock shop in Toledo, central Spain. It follows the fortunes of Torquemada, the hardworking clockmaker, as, during the course of one hot afternoon, his young wife Concepción negotiates her way through her collection of ridiculous lovers. Ravel’s music is bursting with hummable melodies, lively habanera dances and other Spanish folk song elements to get audiences buzzing.

This was opera for everyone – featured an outstanding cast of five young singers as well as four brilliant musicians, who performed a new English translation by our Artistic Director Richard Studer and a new arrangement of Ravel’s exotic score created by our Music Director Jonathan Lyness.

And in the second half of the evening, our musicians and singers presented an eclectic and entertaining taste of Spain – with some old favourites and new delights.
