King
Leontes' jealous rage
results in the death of
his loyal wife Hermione
days after she has given
birth. Leontes orders for
the baby to be killed,
but many years later,
truth surfaces as a
crocus at the first sign
of thaw. Ryan
Wigglesworth's first
opera is a luminous,
persuasive retelling of
William Shakespeare's The
Winters Tale. His natural
sense for dramatic
narrative brings clarity
to this
tragedy-turned-romance,
its brooding opening act
unfolding gradually into
a light-hearted scherzo.
Written as the
culmination of
Wigglesworths tenure as
Artist in Residence with
English National Opera,
The Winter's Tale is not
to be missed.
