Carmen, BizetWelsh National Opera at the Apollo Theatre, 18th and 21st October

A piece as dramatic as Carmen needs little directorial help to make it profoundly affecting. PatriceCaurier and Moshe Leiser’s production, being brought back to the Apollo by the exemplary WNO this week,is a masterpiece of understatement. Set, over-acting, movement and especially lighting are kept to aminimum, serving not only to focus the attention on the passions of the characters and on Berlioz’sexhilaratingly melodious score, but also to draw the audience deep into a shadowy world of gypsies,smugglers and treacherous love.

And shadowy it certainly is: at no point in this production is the stage fully lit, and entire acts are playedin a gloomy half-light which renders the performer’s faces indistinct. For Carmen is a drama of whisperedconversations in corners – a drama set in backstreets where the well-to-do never venture. Light streamsin from the sides of the stage, giving the impression that just round the corner must be the sunshine,excitement and happy bustle of Seville. But these remain just round the corner, an effect heightened byBerlioz’s frequent use of off-stage instruments and voices. Respectable Spain carries on its business in thesun and vibrant colours of the main streets; Carmen and her fellows play out their sordid lives in the shade.

When the stage does briefly lighten, on the crowd assembled for the bullfight in Act IV, the explosionof colour, activity and noise is made doubly effective by the contrast. Apart from at this moment, movementis kept by and large to a minimum. Drama and emotion simmer below the surface, driving inexorably towardsthe opera’s tragic denouement and gaining in power by being under-played. Carmen’s opening, seductivenumber, for example, was all the more enticing for being delivered slyly, sitting down. True, Beth Clayton’sgood looks and highly sensual acting may have done a lot to produce this effect. Her voice, though pretty,was not perhaps as bewitching as her appearance; but after she had sung an aria draped languorously acrossa chair, with her hands tied behind it, one was left in no doubt as to why a soldier would cast rank, familyand reputation to the wind for her sake.

The WNO’s performance is of a typically consistent high quality.Particularly impressive are Robert Hayward, whose rich booming voicemakes him a formidable Toreador, and the endearingly energeticchorus of boys. The orchestral playing is truly virtuosic,especially from the woodwind. This is a production ofcalculated restraint, performed with real flair - a sultry,sensuous take on a powerful human drama.

THEATRE REVIEW

A DOLL’S HOUSE BY HENRIK IBSENPlayhouse, until Saturday 21st

In the opening scene of Polly Teale’s A Doll’sHouse, Nora (Anne-Marie Duff) unfolds out of animpossibly small doll’s house, like an overgrownbutterfly, onto the stage. In an equally surprising andpoignant final moment, she unhooks the walls of theset and walks out of the play. Shared Experience isa theatre company known for its expressionistapproach, intending perhaps to bring some verve andimagination to what is an excessively naturalisticdrama.

Nora’s buried grief, Dr Rank’s lustfulness, theway in which the social cripple, Krogstad (JudeAkuwudike), functions as a shadow to the self-satisfied Torwald (Patterson Joseph) are all,untypically, made explicit on stage. The house wherethe drama takes place resembles a cold prison anddead leaves swirl around the living room floor. Thetinny sounds of the music box animate this half-home, in which Nora and her inner demons encircleeach other, watched by a suitably lush Dr Rank anda prim, cheerless Christine, (both flawlessly performedby Pip Donaghy and Francesca Ryan). All we glimpseof the outside world is the semi-destitute delivery

man, reminding us of the bleak climate and ruthlesssocial order which hold sway over the characters’lives, causing them to live in perpetual fear of physicaland social death.

The play turns around Nora’s crisis over theforged IOU, which will prove to be a test of both herhusband’s and her own moral strength. It is this crisisthat transforms her from a child into a woman, atransition which, sadly, Anne-Marie Duff fails toportray with conviction. Similarly, Patterson Josephseems unable to change into a minor key for the lastact, in which Torwald is finally exposed as a weak andconfused human being. The heartbreaking nature ofthis scene is not contained in its feminist statement(which in any case no longer has the power to shock),but in the recognition of the terrible loneliness and fearwhich accompanies Nora and Torwald’s lack of self-knowledge. This is why, when stretched to its limits,A Doll’s House is a tragedy. For all its energy, SharedExperience does not manage to communicate thevital psychological subtleties of Ibsen’s work.
