Overview

Ambroise Thomas’s opera Hamlet returns in concert, weaving dark drama and vocal brilliance in a rare revival. Featuring Ophélie’s dazzling coloratura showcase, this 19th-century masterpiece will be sung in French with English surtitles under the baton of Jonathon Cole-Swinard.From the first ominous drum roll, Ambroise Thomas’s opera Hamlet draws audiences into a world of intrigue, madness and lyrical splendor. Premiered in Paris in 1868 to immediate acclaim, this dramatic gem unfolds with richly colored orchestration and the virtuosic demands of Ophélie’s coloratura passages—a role that has captivated sopranos from Nellie Melba to Joan Sutherland. Though its fortunes dimmed in the 20th century, the opera’s emotional depth and melodic power find new life in this rare concert revival. Jonathon Cole-Swinard, making his debut with the company, leads the orchestra through Thomas’s poignant score, sung in French with English surtitles to reveal every dramatic nuance. A pre-concert talk by Simon Bainbridge at 4.15pm offers expert insights into the opera’s history and musical innovations, preparing audiences for an unforgettable musical journey.
