Welcome
In this programme:
Benjamin Britten (1913–1976)
Owen Wingrave Op 85 (1970)
Music by Benjamin Britten, with libretto by Myfanwy Piper after Henry James.
Reduced orchestration prepared by David Matthews.
Performed by arrangement with Faber Music, London.
The performance duration is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
This production contains themes of death, war and domestic conflict; the use of weapons in a non-conflict setting and explicit images of war. There will be haze and flashing lights.
Thank you to Scott Price (Director of Music) and Schola Cantorum at The Cardinal Vaughan School for the children’s choir recording, Paul Tucker from the Royal College of Music for supplying the chairs, Jessica O’Brien from the Royal Academy of Music for the loan of the desks and Beth Pratt for stage management team support.
This production of Britten’s Owen Wingrave is generously supported by Corinne and Peter Young MBE HonFGS.
“Witnessing the outstanding quality of full-scale productions by Guildhall School’s Opera, Music, Drama and Production Arts students gives us enormous pleasure every time. That’s why we’re delighted to put our support at the very heart of performing arts training – in students on stage and behind the scenes showcasing their extraordinary talent.”
– Peter & Corinne Young
Conductor's note
Welcome to this term’s production of Owen Wingrave. The sharp-eyed among you, especially those attending performances 2 & 4, may well ask why we have taken the unprecedented step of casting an experienced professional singer in the form of our much-loved vocal professor, Adrian Thompson, to be one of our General Sir Philips!
I’m delighted to share with you the reason for this, which is that our student General Sir Philip, Harry Jacques, became a father in January, and when it became clear last year that this would be happening, we wanted to enable Harry to take part in this production, while also ensuring that he and his family had all the support they needed during this crucial season. Double casting the role seemed the best solution, but Sir Philip is a demanding role, and there were no students in the School whom we felt had the ideal vocal weight or dramatic experience to tackle it at this point in their development. So, we approached Adrian, as an esteemed Guildhall professor who, of course, worked with Britten, and were delighted that he was enthusiastic to sing General Sir Philip for the first time in his long and distinguished career! His wisdom, experience, self-deprecating humour and generosity of spirit have been a wonderfully enriching enhancement to all our students’ time working on this production.
What we didn’t know when we first had this idea, was that Adrian’s appearance in this production would coincide with the 50th anniversary of his starting as a student at Guildhall School! We are proud, grateful and honoured to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Adrian for all he has done for Guildhall. Our fabulous Costume department have even woven a little insignia into General Sir Philip’s waistcoat to recognise this, but of course, integrity of storytelling is everything at Guildhall, so this will not be visible to the audience!
We hope you enjoy the evening.

Head of Opera Studies
Synopsis
Act I
Coyle’s Military Academy
Owen and Lechmere are studying at Mr Coyle’s military academy to prepare for entry into officer training. Owen seems distracted, prompting Coyle to bring the strategy lesson to a premature close. He questions his young charge who says he cannot carry on; he hates war and cannot become a soldier. Coyle is shocked – Owen is his most promising pupil, his family renowned for generations of military service. He urges Owen to change his mind but nonetheless agrees to broach the subject with Owen’s aunt.
Miss Wingrave’s London Apartment
Coyle’s attempts to explain Owen’s position to his aunt, Miss Wingrave, are met with intransigence. She has acted in loco parentis for many years since Owen’s father was killed in battle, and her unshakeable expectation is that Owen will follow family military tradition. She praises the glory of military service, telling Coyle that the misguided Owen should be sent back to the family home, Paramore, to “straighten him out”.
Meanwhile, Owen, also ruminating over ideas of glory, sees it as a distraction used by the powerful to obtain their political ends. Reading Shelley’s meditations on the subject, he reaffirms his decision, asserting the value of peace over the manipulative ‘glory’ of war.
The Coyle’s Residence
Mrs Coyle is surprised at Owen’s decision, concerned for him and the inevitable accusations of disgrace and dishonour. They ask Lechmere to try to talk to his friend to see if he can change Owen’s mind.
As the two young men talk, Owen describes his family, listing the many men who lost their lives in the name of glory. Lechmere suggests these deaths should be avenged. Owen bitterly disagrees, and the two end up arguing, with Owen storming out vowing to fight his family and their values to the bitter end.
Paramore
At the Wingrave family residence, the women of the household await Owen’s arrival. They voice their opinions of Owen’s behaviour and agree that the very presence of the house at Paramore will change his mind.
(Miss Wingrave had, some time in the past, been engaged to Mrs Julian’s brother. Since both he, and Mrs Julian’s husband, were killed in battle, the Julians have been living at Paramore. Kate Julian has grown up at Paramore. She and Owen have been close since their shared childhood, and the family fully expects them to marry – a prospect which would not only secure the status and position of the Julians but also ensure the continuation of family tradition at Paramore.)
At Paramore, Owen is greeted only by silence and the daunting array of family portraits from centuries of decorated service. He dwells on the irony of feeling like an enemy in his own house. Eventually, the women appear – and the chilly reception Owen receives only worsens when his grandfather, General Sir Philip Wingrave, emerges.
A week passes, during which Owen is subjected to a relentless barrage of accusations and insults.
The Coyles have been summoned to Paramore to help talk Owen round. From the outset, they are finding the atmosphere at Paramore suffocating. Mrs Coyle finds the house creepy and is sure it must be haunted – a fear which is not allayed when her husband alludes to an old family legend about ‘the old general and the boy’. She finds the strident position taken by Kate deeply unsympathetic.
When Owen appears to welcome them, Mrs Coyle leads Lechmere away to leave her husband to talk candidly with the clearly very bruised, but still resolute Owen.
Dinner at Paramore
The family tensions reach their height at dinner. Even though the Coyles are increasingly vocal in their support of the young man, saying his position is not born of fear or cowardice but deeply felt scruples, Owen finally loses his temper and storms out.
Interval (20 minutes)
Act II
We hear the legend of Paramore – the story of the old general and the boy. Some generations ago, a young Wingrave was challenged to a fight by his friend. He refused the challenge and walked away. His father, the old general, observed the scene. He berated his son for his craven behaviour and marched him up to the small room at the top of the house. There, he struck him and with one blow the child was dead. They later called for the father to ring the funeral bell, but he was discovered in the same room, lying dead without apparent cause, exactly where his son had lain.
The Drawing Room at Paramore
The fall-out from the argument over dinner continues. Mrs Coyle urges Kate to be less hasty in her judgement of her fiancé, but their conversation is interrupted when Sir Philip appears and summons Owen to his study. Fragments of their heated exchange echo in the drawing room. Mr Coyle, overhearing the fearsome battle taking place in the general’s study, asserts that Owen is indeed showing a soldier’s fighting spirit in the truest sense, much to Miss Wingrave’s annoyance.
Owen returns to reveal he has been disinherited. The Julians are devastated, less perhaps for Owen’s fate than their own loss of future security.
Miss Wingrave dismisses the assembled company and bids them all goodnight. Left alone, Owen reflects on the value of peace. The intolerance of tradition gives him no room, and he can only truly be himself away from its influence.
Kate, unable to sleep, comes downstairs. She and Owen share fond memories of past intimacy, but the conversation soon turns to rancorous argument and she accuses him of being a coward. Caught up in her childish accusations, and to prove he is no coward, Owen accepts her challenge to sleep in the haunted room.
Upstairs at Paramore
Neither of the Coyles are able to sleep because of their concern for Owen, not least the harsh treatment he received at the hands of Kate and his entire family. They are interrupted by Lechmere who overheard Kate and Owen’s argument and is worried about Owen having gone up to the haunted room.
Kate’s screams are heard from the top of the house. As everyone emerges, disturbed by the commotion, she explains she went back up to the room only to find Owen lying dead, exactly as in the legend.

Dedication
This performance is dedicated to Beris Hudson. Beris had a lifelong love of opera and classical singing. Her interest began in childhood, and over the years it became one of the great passions of her life. She was a devoted admirer of Benjamin Britten and rarely missed a year at the Aldeburgh Festival, always keen to attend the master classes and discover new voices.
Closer to home, she regularly went to concerts at Guildhall School and was consistently struck by the standard of the performances. She was especially moved by the thought that some of these gifted young musicians might not be able to continue their training without financial support.
It was this that led her to leave a gift in her Will – to help remove some of those barriers, and to give students the chance to fulfil their potential. Through her gift, Beris’ love of music lives on in the next generation of performers.
We honour those who pledge their support to Guildhall School in their Will by inviting them to join the 1880 Society. Please visit gsmd.ac.uk/legacies or contact Meg Ryan at meg.ryan@gsmd.ac.uk / 020 3834 1561 to discuss leaving a gift in your Will or to arrange a visit to see how you could make a difference to our students.
