Opera Screening

 

An opera in five acts, Hamlet captures all kinds of settings beginning with a funeral leading to a wedding, the visitation of ghosts asking for Hamlet’s revenge, conspiracy theories with Polonius about Hamlet’s love for Ophelia, a play within the opera to reveal guilt, cruelty, murder and truth, confessions of Hamlet’s brother, madness and mad plans to avenge Hamlet’s father Polonius, a second funeral and much more. When Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017, The Guardian declared, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good …Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.”
