Description
Charles Frieth, renowned composer and conductor, is preparing for a performance of one of his works. As he struggles to regain control of his life, a tragedy begins to unfold. The world premiere of Demonic Aubade draws near, but Charles's personal turmoil intensifies. His wife's poor health and dissatisfaction, the exhaustion of his secretary, and the diligence of his housekeeper Maria all contribute to the growing chaos. This beautifully wrought libretto showcases Ian McEwan's mastery of storytelling, exploring themes of family life, marriage, and the complexities of human relationships.
