Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Provence, Aix-en-Provence, France.\u00a0 Monday, July 12th, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kaija Saariaho\u2019s opera\u00a0<em>Innocence\u00a0<\/em>should have been the centrepiece of last year\u2019s Festival d\u2019Aix-en-Provence, but unfortunately the run was cancelled after the first stage-piano rehearsals due to the cancellation of the festival itself during the health emergency.\u00a0 Fortunately, the festival was able to reschedule the premiere for this year\u2019s edition and invited the original cast, alongside the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the London Symphony Orchestra under Susanna M\u00e4lkki, to give the work its belated premiere.<\/p>\n<p>And how lucky we are to have experienced it.\u00a0 Saariaho, alongside novelist Sofi Oksonen and translator Aleksi Barri\u00e8re, has given us nothing short of a masterpiece.\u00a0 This is what opera should be \u2013 a story that engages, grips even, in a soundworld of incredible complexity, given performances in a staging that leaves one utterly transfixed from beginning to end.\u00a0 In a note in the program book, Saariaho mentions how she was attracted to creating a compact work that would last no more than an hour and forty-five minutes.\u00a0 What we get is an engrossing experience that just refuses to let us go.\u00a0 Whenever I attend a new work, I like to read up on it in advance, read the libretto if possible, read interviews with the composer and interpreters.\u00a0 Here, I almost wished that I hadn\u2019t, because the piece itself is so accessible, pulls you into the sheer intrigue of the story, that one benefits from not knowing what happens next.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Fernandez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oksonen and Barri\u00e8re set the work in contemporary Finland.\u00a0 A Czech waitress, Tereza, is called in at the last moment to work a wedding when her colleague calls in sick.\u00a0 During the wedding, Tereza is forced to confront her past.\u00a0 The wedding itself, is contrasted with events at an international school ten years previously.\u00a0 The cast contains thirteen principals and contrasts the opera singers at the wedding, with actors and singers from non-operatic backgrounds who act out the flashback.\u00a0 It sounds when written down like this like it might not actually work.\u00a0 But it does and helps to clarify the narrative, due to the juxtaposition between the operatic and non-operatic singing and acting.\u00a0 Saariaho succeeds in this by creating characters with individually distinct vocal lines and orchestral accompaniment.\u00a0 These include the extraordinary Finnish folk singer and scholar, Vila J\u00e4\u00e4, who displayed vocal feats of astounding virtuosity, the voice elastic in its soaring melismas.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Fernandez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oksonen and Barri\u00e8re\u2019s libretto switches between English as a common language and characters speaking\/singing their own languages.\u00a0 This is a reminder of a Europe that we have come to know, where marriages and relationships cross borders and languages, and free movement is taken as a given. \u00a0Saariaho\u2019s orchestral writing is staggering in its sophistication.\u00a0 Her score has a dark violent core, yet contrasts it with the brightness of bells, a reminder of a time when the future held promise, or hazy strings that recall the past.\u00a0 The chorus remains offstage amplifying the textures in a glow of sound, occasionally singing words, at other times adding a halo to the texture that suggested both innocence and a threat.\u00a0 The effect was compounded by the singing of the Estonians who, with their impeccable blend and clarity of tuning, offered singing that was outstanding in its accuracy.\u00a0 Needless to say, Susanna M\u00e4lkki led her forces with great assurance, obtaining playing of astounding tonal variety from the LSO and allowed the performance to emerge with absolutely unanimity of approach throughout the vast cast.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/operatraveller.files.wordpress.com\/2021\/07\/51284911883_f6b7a13362_b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"

of the cast was utterly naturalistic \u2013 no standing and delivering here \u2013 and every single member of the cast created believable individuals who brought their individual stories to

middle voice, Saariaho also gave Ko\u017een\u00e1 the opportunity to use a generous chest register.\u00a0 Sandrine Piau\u2019s soprano is similarly ageless and here, as the Mother-in-law, she was given some soaring lines which she dispatched with her trademark purity of tone.\u00a0 Tuomas Pursio sang the Father with a baritone that was appropriately world-weary in tone.\u00a0 Lilian Farahani sang the Bride in a sunny soprano with a genuine trill.\u00a0 Markus Nyk\u00e4nen sang the Husband in a healthy tenor with impressive English diction, one I\u2019d certainly like to hear in some of
