The rock icon Elvis Costello is to create a new Andersen opera for the 2006/7 season at the Copenhagen Opera House. The opera is to challenge the traditional notion of opera and will adapt the life and work of Hans Christian Andersen to the stage within a contemporary musical dramatic framework. The opera will focus on Andersen's romantic infatuation with opera singer Jenny Lind. In celebration of the Andersen bicentenary, Elvis Costello will perform the new songs, "The Secret Arias", in person at the Copenhagen Opera House, Main Stage, on 8 and 9 October 2005. The show will also feature familiar Costello songs related to the new cycle of songs.
Elvis Costello states: "I was pleased to be asked to contribute to the Hans Christian Andersen celebrations and have decided that I should do so with a series of especially composed songs that I hope may be developed into a full-length production at a later date. The songs will tell a story that I have imagined existing between the lines of Andersen's biography and some of his most famous tales. They speak of a misfit's love for an unattainable woman and a struggle between a huckster and someone who composes music in secret."
In addition to the performance at the Copenhagen Opera House, the concert will also be staged at the Concert Hall Aarhus.
The songs are scheduled for possible release on CD and DVD. |

Elvis Costello has spent much of his career deconstructing failed relationships and examining why people can so easily go from loving each other to hating and hurting each other, so it comes as no surprise that he makes no direct reference to Valentine’s Day at the Usher Hall. Read the review |
