Charlie Stemp stars as the eponymous Arthur Kipps, an orphan and over-worked draper’s assistant at Shalford’s Bazaar, Folkestone, at the turn of the last century. He is a charming but ordinary young man who, along with his fellow apprentices, dreams of a better and more fulfilling world, but he likes his fun just like any other, except not quite. When Kipps unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society, it confuses everything he thought he knew about life.

La obertura inimitable (gracias a Dios) no tiene puesta en escena y está terriblemente interpretada, con espléndidos solos de violonchelo y flauta: el fino estándar nunca flaquea. La extraordinaria partitura de Rossini de 1829 presagia audiblemente a Meyerbeer, Berlioz, Glinka, Verdi y Wagner, entre muchos otros. La dirección de Graham Vick privilegia el conflicto de clases, con el puño cerrado sobre el antetelón rojiblanco. Los trajes eduardianos colocan a los austriacos con atuendos de noche blancos; los suizos vestidos de negro pulen el piso mientras los gobernantes disfrutan de una filmación (mucho de eso a continuación): el pescador Ruodi, en un bote con una rubia y un escenario falso, con Tell y su familia brindando soporte técnico. Vick despliega el kitsch geográfico e histórico generosamente pero no (siempre) sin sentido. Sin embargo, la coreografía pretenciosa y educada de Ron Howell es increíble.

When the most voluptuous, sought-after courtesan in the world meets an ascetic monk whose life is devoted to God, you know erotic sparks are going to fly. And when the clash takes place in a glorious, but rarely performed, opera by Massenet, it’s a delight to the ear just as much as to the eye. Renée Fleming is every inch the glamorous Thaïs, swathed in elegant gowns designed by Christian Lacroix. Thomas Hampson is Athanaël, the tortured man of God. This production by John Cox, which premiered in December 2008, brilliantly sets the stage for a confrontation as old as civilization itself.
