Features an artist's opera in three acts. The opera was commissioned by the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
With The Tempest Thomas Ades composed one of most striking and successful opera of recent years. From the turbulent orchestral prelude with which it begins to Ariel's stratospheric yet ethereal 'Five fathoms deep' and the radiant quintet of reconciliation in its final act, its composer conjures up a wholly compelling musical world. Responding to librettist Meredith Oake's clear, unfussy refashioning of Shakespeare into formalised rhyme schemes, Ades has created a new kind of tonal language that is both direct and communicative but also indelibly contemporary.
