Tobias Picker’s Thérèse Raquin in London Debut
Apr. 01, 2006
Tobias Picker’s new chamber opera version of Thérèse Raquin saw its world premiere in March at the Linbury Studio of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Based on the Émile Zola novel of the same name, the high drama was accentuated by Picker’s searing musical score. The Evening Standard noted “music of real tension and variety,” with which Picker “declare[d] his full and effective compositional hand.”
Lee Blakeley directed a first-rate ensemble cast in the debut performances of his new opera company, Opera Theatre Europe. Tim Redmond conducted. A tour is planned with dates and venues to be announced.
