The De La Warr Pavilion is delighted to be showing Alexander Goehr's Promised End on 26th October, a fabulous new opera based on Shakespeare's King Lear, performed by the English Touring Opera.
Promised End consists of 24 short scenes, selected, distilled and re-arranged by the composer and by scholar Sir Frank Kermode. The effect is to emphasise one aspect of Shakespeare’s great play: King Lear and the Earl of Gloucester, men who in their prime committed errors of judgment, bringing upon themselves their own tragic destinies.
Find out why Alexander Goehr chose to create an opera from one of Shakespeare's most poignant tragedies in this fascinating interview with James Conway.
