Opera No. 1: William Walton: Façade

The facade is a collection of poems written by Edith Sitwell in 1918 and many of these were set to music by William Walton in 1922. The facade was created after the Sitwell family (a popular artistic but very eccentric family) took Walton in as a permanent composer after he graduated from Oxford University. This was his first major work. Although the poems mention the stories of characters such as The Admiral, Don Pasquito, Black Mrs Behemoth, Old Sir Faulk and Sir Beezlebub, the text itself has no real meaning at all, and is somewhat unclear in structure and verse. Sitwell wrote in a style that focuses more on the sound of the words than the meaning itself. The language that Sitwell uses is reflected through the different musical styles that Walton uses. Each of the twenty-two movements is unique.

Opera no. 2: Gustav Holst: Sāvitri

Sāvitri was Gustav Holst's first opera, written in 1916. The opera is based on an incident in the Mahabharata where Sāvitri, the wife of the forester Satyavān, hears the voice of Death calling her. He will claim her husband. Satyavān returns home to find his wife in utter despair. He assures Sāvitri that her fear is only Māyā (an illusion – represented by the chorus): "All is unreal, all is Māyā." Nevertheless, the man falls over when Death comes. Sāvitri is now alone and she welcomes Death. Death is appeased by the greeting and offers her that she can wish for anything but the return of the man. Sāvitri prays for her life with everything she needs to live. After Death agrees to her wish, she informs him that life is impossible to live without Satyavān. She has defeated Death and he leaves her. Satyavān comes to life and says, "Even Death is Māyā."

About Musikk & Scenehuset

On 6 September 2014, Opera for the People organized our first Saturday Opera in Musikk & Scenehuset. The fifth season is now starting in this beautiful venue, which we are renting from the Swedish Cultural Agency. Many other concerts will also be organized in the house in the future. Follow the house's own website, www.scenehus.no. Here, what is happening is posted continuously. Musikk & Scenehuset is located in one of Oslo's oldest houses and is thus one of Oslo's oldest cultural houses. We have bought a grand piano. In the bar it is possible to buy something good to drink. It is allowed to bring drinks into the concert. The mood is usually high in the beautiful premises, which are a little tired but very charming. We also recommend taking a trip down to Gamle Raadhus Restaurant on the 1st floor after the Saturday Opera for a better meal. To book a table: 22 42 01 07

WELCOME
