Riders To The Sea (Ralph Vaughan Williams) Riders To The Sea (Ralph Vaughan Williams)
They are all gone now and there is nothing more the sea can do to me Riders to the Sea is ... more
Vaughan Williams' most successful operatic
achievement. It is short but the music is written
on a grand scale and it is emotionally powerful.
He based his opera on J.M. Synge's great tragic
one-act play about Aran fisherfolk. The Irish
dramatist spent several summers on the stormy West
Coast of Ireland and the primitive life of the
islanders whose existence depended almost entirely
on the sea provided him with the material for his
play. Vaughan Williams was inspired by the theme
of human endurance in the face of the natural
elements and his opera is absolutely faithful to
Synge's original play almost word for word. The
tautly structured music is integrated perfectly
with Synge's dialogue and at the end it opens out
into a great dignified lament sometimes compared
to the lament from Dido and Aeneas. This film made
in the studio in 1988 by the Irish broadcaster
Radio Telefis ''‰ireann is unique because it
is the only audio-visual representation of any of
Vaughan Williams' operatic and stage works
currently available. The opera stars Sarah Walker
in the central role of the mother Maurya who has
already lost six men in her family to the sea and
fears for the safety of her two remaining sons.
Her daughters Cathleen and Nora are played by
Yvonne Brennan and Kathleen Tynan and her son
Bartley is sung by Hugh Mackey. Martin Murphy
portrays J.M. Synge. The Radio Telefis
''‰ireann Chamber Choir and Concert
Orchestra is conducted by Bryden Thomson. It is
produced and directed by Louis Lentin. A new
production of Riders to the Sea is being staged at
English National Opera this November to mark the
50th anniversary of Vaughan Williams' death.
