CHAGALL REVISITED
This week we look at Marc Chagall's painting Commedia dell’arte, originally created for the Frankfurt Opera House in 1959.
Historically, the circus, one of Chagall’s favourite subjects, had grown from the theatrical features of the old Italian Commedia dell’arte. In this extremely large 'circus' painting, all of Chagall’s favourite performers can be seen, together with an orchestra and audience. Chagall’s work is filled with brilliant colour and exuberant activity - it is joyous and life-affirming.
We will also hear Ana Sokolović’s Commedia dell'arte (I, II, III), an acclaimed trio of string quartets that bring the theatrical characters to life through music. Her very recently staged Clown(s) met with sweeping critical acclaim with reviewers recognising the work as a landmark contribution to contemporary opera.
MAGRITTE AND THE TUBA
Clouds, pipes, bowler hats, green apples and tubas: these remain some of the most immediately recognisable icons of René Magritte, the Belgian painter and well-known Surrealist. This week we focus on the tuba in Magritte’s work – in particular, The Central Story (1927), Threatening Weather (1928) and The Discovery of Fire (1935). We’ll hear music written for the instrument by Sophia Gubaidulina, her ‘Lamento’, Widening Circles by Joshua William Mills and Asha Srinivasan’s Dyadic Affinities.
