Double Bryn Terfel: Rage and Revelry
Author(s):
Sergei Rachmaninoff, Giacomo Puccini
Company:
Grange Park Opera
Sir Bryn Terfel takes centre–stage in a tragedy / comedy pairing of bloodshed and bounty.
Aleko – Sergei Rachmaninoff
Sir Bryn Terfel is Pushkin’s Romantic hero, a tormented victim of passion with a knife at the ready for any wrong-doing.
He has turned his back on the ordinary world to be with Zemfira who breaks him. The blood-drenched show-down presents a side of Bryn that is rarely—if ever—seen.
Gianni Schicchi – Giacomo Puccini
In marked contrast, Bryn is Puccini’s comic trickster Gianni Schicchi, called in by the wealthy Donatis to solve a family problem.
He refuses—until his daughter sings Puccini’s most famous aria, "O mio babbino caro".
