Mavra/Pierrot Lunaire

Mavra/Pierrot Lunaire

Work:: Mavra/Pierrot Lunaire (S1354604084)

As part of their 20th anniversary celebrations, the Jette Parker Young Artists present a mixed programme in the Linbury Theatre, bringing together Igor Stravinsky's rarely performed Mavra, 100 years after its 1922 premiere, and Arnold Schoenberg's 1912 melodrama Pierrot Lunaire. Stravinsky's one-act opera is based on a narrative poem by Pushkin, in which a Hussar disguises himself as a cook in an attempt to spend more time with his lover. Schoenberg's formally wide-ranging, atonal score for Pierrot Lunaire, pre-dating the 12-tone technique for which he is celebrated, transforms into Sprechstimme the texts of poems by Albert Giraud on subjects ranging from love, sex and religion to violence, crime and blasphemy.
