OPENING SOON: HAMLET
Silence are off to Madrid, where they will finalize the score for Tomaz Pandur's new project, Hamlet, and attend the play's premiere. Hamlet, produced by Teatro Espańol, opens at the Matadero on February 12th - see Concerts-Related for details. The play features a cast of acclaimed Spanish players led by Blanca Portillo... yup, as Hamlet.

Hamlet is, beyond doubt, Silence's most pretending and heterogeneous assignment to date. The four-hour play required an equally mammoth soundtrack. Nearly five months of work were required for the 90 minutes of original music featured in the play. The score features a multitude of remarkable instrumentalists: pianist Srebrenka Poljak, cellist Igor Mitrovic, contrabassist Ziga Golob, saxophonist Primoz Fleischman, drummer Janez Gabric and, last but not least, a 14-piece string orchestra conducted by Tomislav Facini. The score also contains a selection of previously released Silence songs and one new track, Mousetrap, interpreted by actor Asier Etxeandia.
