Lucrezia Borgia
Royal Opera House
at Thurrock Park
The
whole period of my
making films – about twentyfive years – has been a learning
curve in an attempt to synthesize all
these things that I have apprenticed:
music, cinematography, sound, how they
work, and so on…I was already engaging
with the very thing opera offers…The film
allows me the opportunity to show the
tragedy of having the child taken away,
which enforces the idea of why
Lucrezia so passionately wants
to find him. – Mike Figgis

Over
the past years, the
internet has evolved from a
static to a social platform. This
evolution has an impact on the way
consumers communicate and take
purchasing decisions. Unfortunately, most
advertisers have failed to evolve along.
Traditional advertising no longer works.
Advertisers need to change their day-to-day
working methods. The gap between the
contemporary consumer and the traditional
advertiser is growing on a daily basis. This era
is not the end of the advertising market,
though it is the end of the advertiser! –

Juan, film by Kasper Holten
17.00 - Rehearsal room 1
Reservation required
Juan is an attempt to make an opera movie like never before. A classic
opera – Mozart’s Don Giovanni – but told afresh on the cinema’s terms.
The story is told in a modern city, a story about a restless artist trying to
escape himself through his seductions.
The international cast is led by Christopher Maltman, Mikhail
Petrenko, Elizabeth Futral, Maria Bengtsson and Katija Dragojevic.
They all sing everything live on all kinds of locations – while driving a
car chase, getting drowned by rain in the middle of the night or while
running around deserted railway stations.
The movie is rough, entertaining and hopefully a new way to bring the
strength of opera – the extreme physical expression of singing – close
to the audience. It is sung in modern English that will ban it from
American television, and parts of the music are cut. But we hope that
you will feel that we honour Mozart by showing him such disrespect.
Kasper Holten
Juan est une tentative de film-opéra comme on n’en a jamais vu. Un
opéra classique (le Don Giovanni de Mozart), mais raconté de façon
inédite dans le langage du cinéma. L’histoire se passe dans une cité
moderne, celle d’un artiste tourmenté tentant d’échapper à lui-même
grâce à ses conquêtes.
La distribution internationale est emmenée par Christopher Maltman,
Mikhail Petrenko, Elizabeth Futral, Maria Bengtsson et Katija
Dragojevic. Tout est chanté en live et dans toutes sortes de situations:
une course-poursuite automobile, sous des pluies torrentielles au
milieu de la nuit ou encore au pas de course à travers des gares
désaffectées.
Le film est brut, amusant et, nous l’espérons, il sera une nouvelle
façon d’amener la force de l’opéra – l’expression physique extrême du
chant – au plus près du public. Il est chanté dans un anglais moderne
qui le bannira de la télévision américaine et la musique est en partie
coupée. Nous espérons toutefois que vous trouverez que nous
honorons Mozart en lui montrant un tel manque de respect.

17.15 – ROH Linbury Studio Theatre
Reservation required
Exposure is a new experimental performance series based in the
Linbury Studio Theatre at the Royal Opera House. Transforming the
Linbury into a transverse cabaret format, complete with its own bar and
café tables, Exposure aims to provide a platform for excerpts of new
opera in a relaxed, informal setting. Performances include scenes and
fragments from the full spectrum of opera development work
undertaken by ROH2, from conventional opera forms through musictheatre to hi-tech, film and video technologies, and range from extracts
of fully-commissioned work in progress to experimental scenes from
our artist development courses. Exposure seeks to both expose
audiences to exciting and varied new work, and expose the new work
itself to the constructive and creative responses of real audiences.
John Lloyd-Davies
Head of Opera Development
Special Edition SPRING 2011 – Issue n°33
Exposure est une nouvelle série de représentations jouées au Linbury
Studio Theatre du Royal Opera House. Transformant le Linbury en
cabaret, avec son propre bar et tables de café, Exposure vise à offrir
une plateforme de présentation pour des opéras en cours de création
dans un cadre détendu et informel. Les scènes et fragments présentés
reprennent tout le panel de travail de création d’opéra entrepris par
ROH2, depuis les formes conventionnelles et le théâtre musical jusqu’à
la haute technologie, le film et la vidéo; ils vont d’extraits de
commandes en cours de création à des scènes expérimentales
proposées par les artistes de notre cursus de développement.
Exposure veut à la fois exposer le public à de nouvelles œuvres variées
et passionnantes, et ces œuvres elles-mêmes aux réactions
constructives et créatives d’un public en chair et en os.

20.00 to 22.00 - Reception and tour of collection
Reservation required
Facing St Paul’s Cathedral, the famous Tate Modern museum is the
British reference for international modern art. Opened in 2000 in a
converted power station on the south bank of the River Thames, it
owes its name to the famous 19th century sugar merchant,
philanthropist and collector Henry Tate, and the expanded collection
is also housed in Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool and Tate St. Ives. The
Swiss architecture firm Herzog & De Meuron ingeniously renewed
the building, notably by working with the artist Michael Craig-Martin
who surrounded the splendid 99-metre chimney with a coloured light
known as ‘the Swiss Light’. Doubled with the light diffused through
the added two-storey glass penthouse, ‘the Lightbeam’, Tate Modern
continues to radiate on the city.
S’élevant face à la cathédrale St Paul, le célèbre musée Tate Modern
est un lieu de référence en termes d’art moderne international.
Inauguré en 2000 dans une ancienne centrale électrique sur les rives
de la Tamise, le musée doit son nom au célèbre Henry Tate,
marchand de sucre, philanthrope et collectionneur du 19ème siècle.
La collection étendue se retrouve aussi au Tate Britain, Tate
Liverpool et Tate St. Ives. Le cabinet d’architecture suisse Herzog &
De Meuron a su revitaliser le bâtiment, en faisant notamment appel
à l’artiste Michael Craig-Martin pour entourer la superbe cheminée
de 99 mètres de haut d’une lumière colorée, “the Swiss Light”. Avec
la lumière diffusée de la galerie vitrée ajoutée au toit originel, “the
Lightbeam”, Tate Modern n’a pas fini de rayonner sur la ville.
The permanent collection may be visited free on the 3rd and 5th
levels of the building. So may the extraordinary installation
Sunflower seeds by the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei in the vast Turbine
Hall, either viewed from above from the bridge or at close range in
the east end of level 1. There is an additional temporary exhibition of
sculptures, found objects and photos by the Mexican Gabriel Orozko.
La collection permanente aux 3ème et 5ème étages est en visite
libre, ainsi que l’extraordinaire installation Sunflower seeds de
l’artiste chinois Ai Weiwei dans le vaste Turbine Hall, à voir soit d’audessus depuis la passerelle ou de plus près dans l’aile est du niveau 1.
Une exposition temporaire de sculptures, objets trouvés et photos du

At the previous European Opera Forum in Barcelona, a group of
enthusiastic young delegates determined to be more involved in
planning the next Forum. Members of the group have gathered
again at Opera Europa’s Budapest and Rotterdam conferences,
leading to the formation of a Young Delegates Think Tank. They
come from different parts of Europe (and beyond), and their
diverse backgrounds - arts management, singing and composing,
directing, designing; but also law, communication consultancy, or
simply still students – have nonetheless created an homogeneous
group of tomorrow’s opera professionals and audiences. Their
concerns and ideas were crystallised during an intensive weekend
last October at Madrid’s Teatro Real to form the basis of The
Opera Experience’s programme. They are involved in various
sessions in London and during the concluding session will report
on what they have experienced.
Pendant le Forum européen de l’Opéra à Barcelone, un groupe de
jeunes délégués enthousiastes a résolu d’être impliqué
davantage dans la programmation du Forum suivant. Une partie
du groupe s’est retrouvée aux conférences de Budapest et
Rotterdam, amenant à la formation d’un “Think Tank”. Ils sont
originaires de différents pays européens (voire de plus loin), et
leurs formations diverses – gestion culturelle, chant et
composition, mise en scène, design; mais aussi droit,
communication, ou simplement encore étudiants – ont
néanmoins créé un groupe homogène de spectateurs et
professionnels de l’opéra de demain. Leurs préoccupations et
idées se sont cristallisées au cours d’un week-end intensif au
Teatro Real de Madrid en octobre dernier pour finalement former
la base du programme de ce Forum. Ils sont impliqués dans
plusieurs sessions à Londres et feront part de ce qu’ils ont vu et
appris ce week-end durant la session de conclusion.
