The rake’s Progress, I. Stravinsky
( Opera sung in English Language with subtitles in Spanish)
The Rake’s Progress ( 1951) is a modern opera , one of Igor Stravinsky’s greatest works, and his only full-length opera. The libretto was written by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman, in the most beautiful English Language.
The Russian composer, fascinated for Cinema and TV, found his inspiration at a series of eight engravings of the same name, works of English artist and satirist William Hogart (18 th Ct). The engravings told the story of the rise and fall of Tom Rakewell, son of a rich merchant, who through lures of London Nightlife is led to his incarceration at an lunatic asylum.
At Stravinsky’s work the poet remained an essential contributor, and opera gives the poet the most imaginative freedom.
