Opera Matinee: Dvorak's King and Charcoal Burner
The premiere of the original score to Dvorak's folkloric opera King and Charcoal Burner, recorded in Prague in 2019.
Dvorak's comic opera King and Charcoal Burner tells the folkloric story of the legendary King Matyas and his adventures with the collier Matej and his daughter Liduska in the dense forests of central Bohemia. Originally written in 1871 when Dvorak was still eking out a living as a violist at Prague始s Provisional Theatre and was yet to receive any public performances, the first version was returned to the young composer described by its conductor, Bedrich Smetana, as 'unperformable'. Several subsequent revisions were made but today's concert performance, recorded last September at the Dvorak's Prague International Festival, is the modern day premiere of the original score.
Presented by Tom McKinney.
