Philomela, by British composer James Dillon, inspired by Ovid and Sophocles, is his first scenic work. Whether opera or musical theatre, his score gives us an original and intense reading of the Princess of Athens' tragedy. Philomela is a visionary work. While being within the history of music, it invents its forms, its time, its own aesthetic sphere. It is probably for that reason that James Dillon qualifies it: music/théâtre (note the first term in English, the second in French, that authenticates the paternity of this history) so that it does not belong to the history of opera (too long) neither to modern musical theatre (too short). James Dillon imagines a space between Baroque and Noh theatre, a space we can perceive, we can seize immediately, as we contemplate this production. The writing in itself is a kind of metaphor of the myth! It's a cut tongue. For this recording, the best interpreters of our times have been selected. This is one of the major contemporary lyrical successes of the last decade, both innovating and thoroughly gripping. (Aeon)
Even by the standards of Greek tragedy, the story of Philomela is particularly gruesome. Philomela, sister of Procne, was raped by her brother-in-law Tereus, who then cut out her tongue to prevent her revealing his crime. When Philomela eventually managed to tell her sister what had happened, the two took revenge on Tereus by killing his son Itys and serving the flesh for him to eat, at which point the gods decided that enough was enough, and turned all three of them into birds. This is James Dillon's first opera, staged in Porto three years ago, and this recording comes from a concert performance at the same time. Dillon casts the tragedy as a tightly woven three-hander, in which different layers of narration and narrative time, as well as what is performed live and what is pre-recorded, combine to create a complex web of connections between past and present. The ensemble writing is tough and sinewy, the vocal lines highly wrought; it's not a comfortable listen, but it is a fascinating one, and the performance, with Anu Komsi as Philomela and Susan Narucki as her sister, is superbly vivid.
