Approved

William Waltonâ€™s The Bear and Igor Stravinskyâ€™s Renard, have more in common than it might appear for, both are based on Russian tales: Waltonâ€™s â€˜Extravaganzaâ€™ uses Chekhovâ€™s play of the same name as its source, while Stravinskyâ€™s â€˜Histoire burlesqueâ€™ was based by the composer on Russian folk tales from a collection by Alexander Afanasyev. The full title of Renard can be translated as The fable of the Vixen, the Cock the Cat and the Ram, which is a vicious moralizing tale, satirising both religion and the Church. The Cock is caught twice by the Fox, and is twice rescued by the Cat and the Ram; after the second rescue, the Cat and Ram kill the Fox. The Bear is a more light- hearted piece, and tells the story of Popova, who has been recently widowed. However, her attempts to remain faithful to her husband receive a blow as it emerges that Popov was promiscuous and unfaithful. One of her husbandâ€™ creditors, Smirnov, arrives; he is boorish and crass (the Bear), but Popova falls in love with him, and the opera ends with Luka, the servant looking aghast at the turn of events. The Bear, a Koussevitzky commission, premiered at Jubilee Hall, Aldeburgh, on 3 June 1967; Renard was commissioned by Princesse Edmond de Polignac and was ï¬rst performed in Paris on 18 May 1922, by the Ballets Russes.
