A reclusive widow, a loyal servant, an angry creditor and a pair of pistols... William Walton's witty one-act opera The Bear was filmed and recorded live on ...

A reclusive widow, a loyal servant, an angry creditor and a pair of pistols are the ingredients for an unlikely romance in The Bear.

“Why, O why must creditors appear and debtors always vanish?”

The widow Popova has given up on life. Locking herself inside her country house, she vows to surrender her happiness in a show of devotion to her late husband. But when Smirnov arrives to demand payment a heated argument is turned on its head as they fall furiously in love, to the astonishment of Popova’s servant, Luka. 

William Walton’s witty one-act opera was adapted from Chekhov’s comedy in 1967. Laced with allusions to Massenet, Strauss, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky, the music sparkles in this chamber reduction by Jonathan Lyness.

Filmed and recorded live on location in Stone House over two days in April 2021, this film reunites the cast and creative team of Opera Holland Park’s acclaimed 2019 production of Il segreto di Susanna, and features members of Opera Holland Park’s resident orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia.
