2008-08-04 Summerscape offering of Szymanowskis works is hit and miss
Baritone Adam Kruszewski as King Roger and soprano Iwona Hossa as his queen were very strong. He stood motionless, but you could hear the dismay, frustration, sternness and wonder in his voice. Hossa used her big voice to caress the Polish words or soar easily over the full company. Szlenkier did well as the shepherd but he projected little emotion. Both choruses supported the action very well.
King Roger was much better, principally owing to director Lech Majewskis consistent and fantastical vision. Set in a 12th-century Sicilian kingdom, the god Dionysius, disguised as a shepherd, woos away members of the kingdom, including the queen and eventually the king. Majewski, who also designed the ornate costumes and the fanciful sets, decreed the players adopt poses much like what is seen on huge Minoan jars. Singers stood with arms set in place or undulating like snakes while they sang and movement was at a snails pace. Emotions were conveyed through vocal inflection.

Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me. "
Saturday and Sunday) This rapturous and inspired opera may be the most ambitious work by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski, who died at 54 in 1937. First performed in Warsaw in 1926, King Roger tells of a 12th-century Christian king of Sicily, whose authority is undermined by the arrival of an alluring shepherd-prophet who preaches a gospel of love. The kings followers, including his queen, are enthralled by the shepherd, who during a climactic bacchanal is revealed to be Dionysus. The sultry, harmonically daring music vividly conveys the teeming emotions of the story. On opening night, however, the production at the Bard SummerScape festival teetered between the surreal and the silly. And
