It is not only a summer tradition but has also become a major event for opera fans. A video recording of the 2009 production of Szymanowski’s late-period masterpiece, *King Roger*, has been released. Set in 12th-century Sicily, the opera depicts the turmoil that ensues when King Roger and Queen Roxane encounter Dionysus, who has disguised himself as a handsome shepherd. The music, with its meticulously crafted orchestration reminiscent of Richard Strauss, unfolds like a vividly colorful scroll; yet it retains Szymanowski’s signature cool, detached quality. Scott Hendrick, an American baritone, plays the role of King Roger. He is a highly skilled performer who garnered attention for his portrayal of Marquis Eletzki in the Saito Kinen production of *The Queen of Spades*. He exquisitely conveys the subtleties of King Roger’s inner emotions.\nWhile many of Szymanowski’s works can be challenging, this opera allows you to simply lose yourself in the sheer beauty of the music. Combined with the stunning stage design and a cast of talented, expressive singers, this is a performance to be fully savored.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C Major","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595606253857,"sku":"814337010287","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/814337010287.jpg?v=1790481892","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-pt\/products\/814337010287","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
