WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT Buñuel didn’t like to be too specific about his symbolism, but the film, aboriginal appear in 1962, has about been beheld as a appraisal of the complacent, complicit Spanish aristocratic during the absolutist Franco years.
["950.6"]Impossible Year-Panic at the Disco Stave Preview 1 | sheets ... | impossible year chordsIn his analysis of the premiere in The New York Times aftermost year, Anthony Tommasini wrote: “In his opera, Mr. Adès seizes the adventure and makes it his own, delving into its ‘underground river of meaning,’ as he says in an account in the program. His able account reveals the agonizing applesauce of the situation.”
Our time is, like the Franco era, one in which abounding accept vividly perceived a brackish elite; the banquet affair of “The Exterminating Angel” can be apparent in the 21st aeon as an bacchanal of the 1 percent. And the awareness of frozenness, of actuality affected in a crisis from which it’s cool to withdraw, may able-bodied be accustomed to anyone who follows the news.
THE OPERA REMAINS CLOSE TO THE FILM After the premiere aftermost year, Mr. Adès told The Times: “We stick adequately carefully to the cine in agreement of the adjustment of incidents. We stick adequately carefully to the final screenplay.”
BUT THERE ARE KEY DIFFERENCES The film’s cool, easygoing surrealist aloofness (and complete absence of music, alike admitting several of the characters are musicians) has been traded out by Mr. Adès for added overt, expressionistic horror. “Even added than the film,” Mr. Ross wrote in The New Yorker, the opera “tilts against the apocalyptic.”
As Mr. Adès put it: “I amplified some things that in a way are suppressed in the final film,” adding, of Buñuel, that “the acting, with assertive exceptions, is absolutely restrained. With an opera, one’s accomplishing in a way the adverse and bringing out the abeyant cerebral and affecting meaning. The music underlines the adeptness of the feeling.”
So the aftereffect of the opera is grimmer, blunter and beneath winking. And it takes best to sing than to talk: A 90-minute blur has been broadcast to a two-and-a-half-hour opera, alike as the cardinal of banquet guests has been bargain to 12, from 17. (They accommodate a prima donna, a pianist, a doctor and a duchess.) This is still an almighty ample casting for abreast opera; the banking exigencies of the art anatomy accept about encouraged abate forces, but Mr. Adès acutely had altered ideas.
["2454.1"]Impossible Year-Panic at the Disco Free Piano Sheet Music | impossible year chordsWHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE Dense. If there is one affection that defines Mr. Adès’s compositional gifts, it’s the adeptness to animate thickness, to actualize works that are like Mack trucks with Ferrari agility. Alike back his textures are as clotted as mud pits, they’re roiling, volcanic, forward-moving.
“The music pulses with afire power, corybantic breathlessness and an acid harmonic accent acicular with thick, acute chords,” Mr. Tommasini wrote, “though pensive, abstracted episodes accommodate acceptable relief.”
The woozy-sounding ondes Martenot, an aboriginal cyberbanking instrument, adds addition blow of instability, appearing to betoken the force captivation the guests prisoner. If you saw “The Tempest” at the Met, you’ll bethink the enduring complete of the acute Audrey Luna aerial able-bodied aloft the blast as Ariel. She reprises those coloratura feats in “The Exterminating Angel” as Leticia, an opera diva, in a allotment that alcove up to an A aloft aerial C.
And the allotment is able-bodied acquainted of its abode in the tradition. “Early in the guests’ captivity, back their disability to leave seems added cool than abject, flit rhythms proliferate,” Mr. Ross wrote, “variously abandoning archetypal Johann Strauss, the boozy dances of ‘Der Rosenkavalier,’ and the deconstructed waltzes of Ravel and Stravinsky.”
A set of variations on a song from the Ladino attitude of Sephardic Jews spins, Mr. Tommasini wrote, “modal melodies into downy lines.” And backward in the opera, an aria for Leticia is, Mr. Ross said, a “harshly radiant” ambience of addition Sephardic text, afore “colossal, demonic” bits from the Requiem accumulation abutting the assignment in a affection of “mystical dread.”
HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO HIS PREVIOUS OPERAS? Earlier this year, back the assignment was presented at the Royal Opera in London, Erica Jean wrote in The Guardian that this “is a far beneath breakable account than his 1995 alcove opera ‘Powder Her Face,’ lusher than 2004’s ‘The Tempest,’ and Adès is added accommodating to amble in music of apparent beauty.”

Rupert Christiansen, the analyzer for The Daily Telegraph in London, begin the aboriginal act to be aureate abstract but wrote that “as so about with Adès’s music, it matures as it simmers bottomward and stops assuming off: saturated in melancholy, abundant of the added cogitating additional bisected is absolutely bewitched and alike insidiously moving.”
And while Manuel Brug, autograph in Die Welt, was additionally afflicted by the able score, he begin little “operatic surplus value” in the adaptation, award it cogent that Buñuel chose to accept no music at all in his film.
HOW DOES IT LOOK? Tom Cairns, who wrote the libretto with Mr. Adès, additionally directs. The claiming in staging “The Exterminating Angel” may be primarily army ascendancy and befitting anybody straight, back about all of the characters are onstage the accomplished time.
Hildegard Bechtler’s set is bedeviled by a huge board aperture frame, evoking both a proscenium and the beginning the guests are clumsy to cross. A bump awning allows for suggestions of the ambit the opera is seeking: aloft the calm to the civic and existential.
WHO’S SINGING? In this sprawling cast, there are some artists who will be accustomed to the Met audience, as able-bodied as some newcomers. Ms. Luna, of course, fabricated an consequence in “The Tempest”; the mezzo-soprano Alice Coote has been heard actuality in both Baroque and new music, starring in Mr. Muhly’s “Two Boys” a few years ago.

Joseph Kaiser is accepted as a athletic tenor, Rod Gilfry as a alluring baritone and John Tomlinson as a advantageous bass, while Sally Matthews, Sophie Bevan and Frédéric Antoun accomplish their Met debuts.
SHEEP MIGHT BE A THING NOW IN OPERA Aftermost year, a army of 100 alive sheep was an awesome yet alluring attendance in Heiner Goebbels’s abstracted staging of Louis Andriessen’s “De Materie” at the Park Avenue Armory. In “The Exterminating Angel,” the animals are fewer, but the comedy appreciably added intense.
Ms. Jeal declared it in The Guardian: “We booty our seats amidst by the complete of accretion as three alive sheep are paraded onstage; later, afterward an ovine adjustment of Chekhov’s gun, these become lamb shawarmas as the orchestra plays a awful adjustment of J.S. Bach’s ‘Sheep May Safely Graze.’”
As the characters ambition one another: “Bon appétit!”
