KING ARTHUR (LE ROI ARTHUS)
Ernest Chausson
Bard SummerScape Opera 2021
“The Bard production, directed by Louisa Proske, is scenically spare but richly costumed and dramatically effective. And Botstein, leading the American Symphony Orchestra, an impressive cast and the excellent Bard Festival Chorale, made a compelling case for the piece.”-New York Times
Idealism, treachery, honor, and perfidy collide in this richly lyrical opera by French composer Ernest Chausson. This opulently scored work, which premiered in 1903, lays bare the tragedy of King Arthur’s betrayal at the hands of his queen Genièvre and his trusted knight Lancelot.
Considered one of the finest examples of French romanticism, King Arthur (Le roi Arthus) was composer Chausson’s only opera-his own composing career was tragically cut short by his early death at age 44.
Performed by a stellar cast, helmed by baritone Norman Garrett, mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, and tenor Matthew White, this production of King Arthur takes us to a world in the midst of upheaval where long-standing codes of honor and loyalty no longer hold sway.

Watched out of almost idle curiosity. Ended with a sense of wonder - and admiration for rising to the final transformation scene so sensitively. Could so easily descend to kitsch. Cooke, Garrett and White were outstanding voices. Louisa Proske's 'spot on' direction was no surprise, having just seen her Amadigi de Gaula in Halle. Why, oh why, is this opera not performed more? Fisher Center is now on the bucket list. Bravi tutti! GM

I love how the armorial bearings of Arthur and his knights are all borrowed from the Great Pendragon Campaign

Thank you so much for posting this! I had never heard of this opera. It is wonderful. The singers are all first class as well as the orchestra. Lovely costumes, scenery. Everything that makes opera great.
