The Rakes Progress 1945 Rex Harrison-Lilli Palmer-Godfrey Tearle
Please leave a comment
(Released in the US as 'Notorious Gentleman')
A memorable performance from Harrison as the quintessential upper class cad.
Sent down from Oxford after crowning the Martyrs' Memorial with a chamberpot, he is packed off to a South American coffee plantation, rebels against the idiocies of the colonial way, and returns for a brief period of glory as a racing driver. From there on it's downhill, pursuing a shabby love 'em and leave 'em attitude to women, causing his father's death with his drunken driving, and drifting from selling used cars to selling himself as a professional dancing partner. Consistently enjoyable and often caustically witty.

Spring 2024 | The Rake's Progress | Trailer

DVD: The Rake's Progress and the documentary Taking Risks
Barbara Hannigan’s intimate journey towards her debut as an opera conductor in Stravinsky’s The

Oper in drei Akten von Igor Strawinsky
Libretto von Wystan Hugh Auden und Chester Kallman.
Premiere: FR 18. Mai 2018, Theater Basel
Die amerikanische Regisseurin Lydia Steier, deren Inszenierung von Karlheinz Stockhausens «Donnerstag aus ‹Licht›» am Theater Basel für Furore sorgte und in der alljährlichen Kritikerumfrage der Fachzeitschrift Opernwelt zur «Aufführung des Jahres 2016» gewählt wurde, widmet sich mit Igor Strawinskys «The Rake’s Progress» einem weiteren Meilenstein des Musiktheaters des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Anders als in den avantgardistischen Werken seiner frühen Schaffensperioden, greift Strawinsky in «The Rake’s Progress» auf die musikalische Sprache des 18. Jahrhunderts zurück. Die Oper schildert den Werdegang des «Rake» (dt. «Wüstling») Tom Rakewell, der ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste nach Reichtum und dem süssen Leben strebt. Vom Teufel verführt, verlässt Tom seine ihm treu ergebene Geliebte Anne Trulove und erlebt einen rasanten Aufstieg und einen noch schnelleren Fall – bis er schliesslich in der Psychiatrie endet.
Inspiriert vom gleichnamigen Bilderzyklus des britischen Malers und Grafikers William Hogarth (1697–1764), erzählt Strawinsky in «The Rake’s Progress» ein Gleichnis über die wahren Werte, abseits von Ruhm und Geld. Gespickt mit schillernden Figuren wie etwa der bärtigen Türkenfrau Baba, einer Jahrmarktsensation, zeichnet die Oper das bunte Porträt einer Gesellschaft, die ihren moralischen Kompass zu verlieren droht.

The Rake's Progress
When the mysterious Nick Shadow appears at his door, Tom Rakewell immediately abandons country life and his sweetheart Anne for the temptations of the city. But London’s glittering promise soon corrodes; love, money and even sanity slip further and further from Tom’s grasp. Can true love save him, or will the Devil have the last laugh?
Hogarth’s paintings charting one man’s path from pleasure to ruin are the starting point for one of the most dazzlingly original works of the 20th century, like a Mozart opera that has wandered into a musical hall of mirrors – at once elegant and anarchic. Comedy and tragedy are never far apart in this light-footed work that can break your heart with the broadest of smiles.
John Cox’s production is one of the great Glyndebourne classics, featuring David Hockney’s much-loved designs alongside an exciting cast including Topi Lehtipuu, Matthew Rose and Miah Persson.
The Rake’s Progress was captured live at Festival 2010.

Barbara Hannigan’s intimate journey towards her debut as an opera conductor in Stravinsky’s The
Rake’s Progress has been captured on film and will be released on DVD by Accentus Music. Taking
Risks will be presented in a double disc release, alongside the performance of The Rake’s Progress,
which took place in Gothenburg in December 2018 with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.
The world premiere production was a “labour of love” for Hannigan, who has sung the role of Anne
Trulove countless times. The soloists all took part in the inaugural year of Hannigan’s mentoring
initiative, Equilibrium Young Artists, and were personally hand-picked by Hannigan from over 350
applications across 39 countries, with auditions across Europe.
Launched in 2018 by Hannigan,
Equilibrium Young Artists aims to mentor young professional musicians in the early years of their
careers through intense workshops and high-level performance opportunities.
In Taking Risks, the documentary that accompanies the recording of Barbara Hannigan’s opera
conducting debut The Rake’s Progress, the audience are given an exclusive and rare insight into the
process of auditions, casting, rehearsals and more. Accentus Music accompanied Hannigan every
step of the way towards the premiere of The Rake’s Progress, an opera which can only be described as an exceptional, momentous work.
In this unique and refined semi-staged production, director Linus Fellbom invites the audience to
partake on a journey through space and time, from a distant future to the present, and back to 18th
century London.
This is the second documentary DVD that Accentus Music has released with Barbara Hannigan,
following the award-winning release of I’m a creative animal in 2015.

process of auditions, casting, rehearsals and more. Accentus Music accompanied Hannigan every
step of the way towards the premiere of The Rake’s Progress, an opera which can only be described as an exceptional, momentous work.
In this unique and refined semi-staged production, director Linus Fellbom invites the audience to
partake on a journey through space and time, from a distant future to the present, and back to 18th
century London.
This is the second documentary DVD that Accentus Music has released with Barbara Hannigan,
following the award-winning release of I’m a creative animal in 2015.
