description
Boesmans and his librettist Luc Bondy have based their intimate chamber opera on Miss Julie, Strindberg's classic 1888 drama of destructive passion between mistress and servant. Julie is a complex interplay of sex and class, with the haunting power of the past a catalyst to tragedy. On Midsummer's Night, a time for wild celebration, Julie works on Jean to draw him away from his fiancée Christine. But the events on shortest night of the year throw into relief the destructive ambitions of them both: 'It is dangerous to play with fire…'. •
Although Boesmans is a major figure in mainland Europe, his four operas have an impressively successful track record across the Channel, he is virtually unknown on the British operatic stage. His music is highly individual: dense and precise, rich and colourful, elegant, and in this piece, he makes a chamber ensemble of eighteen players sound positively symphonic.
