Benjamin Britten: The Golden Vanity at Paris Philharmonic
Νοσταλγική βραδιά classical
An exploration of nautical themes and maritime fables through Benjamin Britten's "The Golden Vanity", a miniature opera created in 1967. The performance by the Children's Choir of the Orchestre de Paris also includes Traditional chants from Oceania, showcasing various traditional cultural functions of music like rituals, ceremonies, and children's games. Parmi les nombreuses partitions que Britten a dédiées à l’univers enfantin, The Golden Vanity entre dans la catégorie du «vaudeville», c’est-à-dire de l’opéra miniature. Dans cette fable maritime, le mousse du navire Golden Vanity perd la vie pour l’amour de la fille du capitaine. C’est à un chœur d’enfants qu’il revient de conter l’histoire. Le voyage continue avec l’interprétation de Chants d’Océanie, représentatifs de toute la palette de fonctions attribuées à la musique dans la culture traditionnelle de ce continent.
