Santa Fe Opera at Chatter (Alburqueque, NM)
Illuminating Britten’s “Turn of the Screw”
Like Henry James’ novella, Benjamin Britten’s “Turn of the Screw” glimpses horror in the dark shadows of childhood. Or does it?
Del Sol Quartet takes the child-centered approach in this vivid program of music by child-adjacent composers. Britten’s youthful “Three Divertimenti” began as musical portraits of his school friends. “Akoya”, by Erika Oba, takes us into the enchanted landscape of a Japanese folk-tale she tells her niece. Mark Orton’s “Microsuite” is a gently funky sofa-snuggle with grandma. And Lukas Ligeti is a grown-up who still hasn’t stopped playing with drums. Recent music by gamin, Jungyoon Wie, and Del Sol’s own Hyeyung Sol Yoon round out the program along with the world premiere of “Kids and Dads” by Santa Fe composer Chris Jonas.
