If you need an intro to country, this is it. Pop sensibility meets country tone and storytelling. The vocals and lyrics capture the end, she’s fed up, it’s over. Go. Now. #TheWreckers earned their accolades. Leave the Pieces (Feb 2006) hits with emotion and talent.

A lavender background has the text ‘Ethel Smyth, composer, suffragette.’ written as a title in large purple letters. A black and white portrait of a white woman smiling while dressed in Victorian attire is in the bottom left, and next to it on the right is the quote “even if I were to fall desperately in love with BRAHMS and he were to propose to me, I should say no!” with ‘August 19th, 1877’ written underneath in black text.
Black text on a lavender background reads ‘About the composer: Ethel Smyth was born on 22nd April 1858, in Kent. She was the fourth of eight children, and her father was extremely opposed to her career in music. However, she composed her first hymn before turning 10, and decided to study music at 12 years old. Smyth was relegated to being the ‘woman composer’ during her lifetime, and we are only just beginning to properly appreciate her music in the classical music world. She was a prolific composer, with six operas to her name as well as many chamber pieces, song settings, and two symphonic works. Smyth was not only a composer, but a suffragette. She fought for women’s rights throughout her life. This is extremely apparent in her career as a composer - she fought for herself to have an education, for her works to be performed, and for her works to be published. She was the first woman composer to receive a damehood.’ Underneath the text is an artistic drawing of a music stanza.
Black text on a lavender background reads ‘About the piece: The Wreckers is an opera in three acts. Its libretto was in French and written by Henry Brewster (her long term and long distance partner). Despite the opera being written for the French language, it premiered in German (1906), and was then performed in English in 1909. It wasn’t performed in French until 2022 at Glyndebourne Festival Opera. The story of The Wreckers follows Cornish villagers who plunder ships as they pass the Cornish coastline. Smyth conceptualised the opera after being in Cornwall in 1886 and taking a walking tour. Smyth composed The Wreckers during the years 1902-1904, and it was premiered in 1906. She wrote notes of the plot and subject matter and then passed these on to Brewster. They agreed that the libretto would be in French - Brewster preferred to work in French, and it was more likely for the work to be produced in a French speaking country than in England. We will be playing ‘The Wreckers Overture’ which is the ‘overview’ if you will, being played at the beginning of the opera to show you what you can expect from the performance.’
Our final composer for Sunday's (tomorrow's!) concert - Ethel Smyth.

#OperSchwerin #TheWreckers #Strandrecht Schade,dass das Werk in dt Sprache vorgeführt wird statt original in fr.Sprache (! Warum?). "The Wreckers is considered by some critics to be the most important English opera composed during the period between Purcell and Britten" - ich lasse mich überraschen.
