Abstract:
Will Todd, born in Durham in 1970, has an extensive output of compositions to his credit, including highly-charged operas and oratorios, largely centred around themes from northeastern England, notably the workers' struggle against early 19th and 20th-century injustice and oppression. I had heard his emotive cantata The Burning Road performed at St Albans Cathedral in February 2002 – it depicts the relentless, footsore Jarrow Marchers of 1936 who stopped in the city en route to London – and was interested to hear the follow-up in his new opera on an allied theme: The Blackened Man.

Abstract:
By all (press) accounts, the overture to The Tempest, Thomas Adès's first full-scale opera, was completed at speed – just five days before the 20 February première, at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Comparisons with Rossini naturally followed, but the question remained whether such facility would be married to the necessary substance for a setting of Shakespeare's play Robin Holloway's claim (in the Financial Times) that the opera was ‘make or break’ for Adès may in hindsight come to appear somewhat overstated, but there is no doubt that this was an important milestone in the composer's

Abstract:
Few contemporary operas achieve the newsworthiness of Nicholas Maw's Sophie's Choice. Even before its 7 December première at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, the piece dented public consciousness thanks to a barrage of press coverage surrounding the production, the cast, and the subject matter. The irony is that it was the other names associated with the opera – conductor Simon Rattle, director Trevor Nunn, and William Styron, author of the 1979 novel – that made Sophie's Choice a news story, rather than the fame of its composer. Yet Maw's was the ultimate responsibility for the creation

Abstract:
The King's Theatre, Haymarket, was destroyed by fire in June 1789. Shortly thereafter some wealthy and powerful patrons – notably the Prince of Wales (the future George IV), the Duke of Bedford and the Marquis of Salisbury – launched an ambitious scheme to build a fabulously expensive Royal Opera House in Leicester Square. The venture was designed to re-establish London as a major centre for Italian opera and ballet, to reform the wayward financial and artistic management of the King's Theatre and to give the capital city a grand opera house of modern design that would rival any in Europe.

Abstract:
Morgen und Abend is Georg Friedrich Haas's seventh opera, a co-commission by the Royal Opera in London and Deutsche Opera in Berlin. It is an hour-and-a-half long, and its libretto is adapted from the novel Morgon og Kveld (2000) by Norwegian author Jon Fosse, whose work Haas previously adapted in Melancholia for the Paris Opéra. Morgen und Abend's two continuous scenes present the life of fisherman Johannes by focusing on its two most salient moments – Johannes's birth (in the morning) and death (in the evening). In this strategy there is a slight, if inadvertent, echo of the lights on/lights

The celebrations inside the palace included professional performance of a play, opera, or entertainment with dancing, and in the evening was held the birthday/birthnight ball.

Davy's assistant, Michael Faraday, accompanies his mentor on a grand tour of Europe, and ultimately becomes one of the greatest experimental physicists of all time.

Abstract When Ralph Vaughan Williams was born at Down Ampney on 12 October 1872, English music was still drifting down the years of the Victorian era, leaderless and bereft of a sense of purpose. Music in England, on the other hand, was thriving. August Manns, at his Crystal Palace concerts, and Charles Halle, at his Manchester concerts, were introducing new works and had changed the nature of symphony concerts from a miscellaneous selection of music of varying types into a more selective and substantial evening’s listening.

Abstract Wilhelm Friedrich Herschel, eventually Sir William, was born in 1738 in Hanover, the son of a musician, in whose profession he was trained. At the age of 19 he travelled to England and soon established himself as a composer, conductor, teacher, and church organist in Bath. In 1766, he began to take a deep interest in astronomy and before long had built his own reflecting telescope. For this purpose he ground his own mirrors, fashioned from speculum, an alloy of copper and tin.

Abstract It must have been in 1936 or so, when I had not long since left the Royal College of Music, my mind greedy for every musical experience to come my way, that I went to the old Queen’s Hall, London, to hear a concert performance of an opera by a new, young Russian composer, not many of whose works had reached England. In my experience a concert performance of an opera does not often succeed in giving much idea of its dramatic impact. But this one, of Lady MacBeth of Mtzensk (as it was then called) was a knock-out.1 I imagine it was well done, enough anyhow to give me a sense of the viol
