Summary:

James Levine, a longtime champion of Stravinsky's only full-length opera, draws out every nuance of this landmark score, a virtuosic blend of farce and tragedy. Paul Appleby leads the cast as Tom Rakewell, a young man who forsakes his fiancée for the lure of the city and a Faustian bargain-only to end up in a madhouse. Layla Claire is Anne Trulove, who stands by him to the end, Gerald Finley sings Nick Shadow, the devilish figure who guides Tom through his new, increasingly decadent life, and Stephanie Blythe is Baba the Turk, a bearded lady who becomes Tom's wife. Brindley Sherratt co-stars as Anne's father, Trulove.

Contents:

Prelude

The woods are green

Anne, my dear ; Yes, Father

Here I stand

Since it is not by merit

Tom Rakewell? ; Fair lady

I wished but once

I'll call the coachman, sir ; Farewell, farewell, farewell for now

Dear Father Trulove

With air commanding

Come, Tom

Soon dawn will glitter ; Brothers of Mars

Love, too frequently betrayed ; How sad a song

The sun is bright

No word from Tom

Quietly, night

My Father!

I go, I go to him

Vary the song

I wish I were happy

Come, master

In youth the panting slave pursues The fair evasive dame

My tale shall be told

How strange!

Anne! here!

My love, am I to remain in here forever?

Could it then, could it then have been known

I have not run away, dear heart

As I was saying both brothers wore moustaches

Come, sweet

Wretched me!

My heart is cold ; Fa la la (Pantomime) ; O I wish it were true

Thanks to this excellent device

Forgive me, master

Ruin, disaster, shame

Ladies both fair and gracious

Who hears me, knows me

Sold! Annoyed!

You love him

If boys had wings and girls had stings

Prelude

How dark and dreadful is this place

Very well then, my dear and good Tom ; My heart is wild with fear

Now in his words

Love, first and last ; I burn! I freeze!

Prepare yourselves, heroic shades

Leave all love and hope behind!

There he is ; I have waited

In a foolish dream

Gently, little boat

Every wearied body must

Where art thou, Venus?

Good people, just a moment (Epilogue).
