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.
