See the full album descriptionLeonora Christine
Andy Pape's (b. 1955) gripping chamber opera Leonora Christine, Queen of the Blue Tower, based on the story about King Christian IV's illegitimate daughter Leonora Christine, who at the age of 15 was married to the seneschal Corfitz Ulfeldt and who after being accused of treason was imprisoned in the castle of Hammershus at Bornholm. Leonora Christine later spent 22 years as a prisoner in the Blue Tower in Copenhagen, before she ended her days in a convent.
The opera is written for the two female solists, the classically trained mezzo soprano Edith Guillaume and Maria Stenz, with a background in acting and cabaret singing. In the opera Pape makes use of both contemporary musical idioms, elements from the Renaissance style, folksong, as well as sweet and romantic, yet changeable, music in order to characterize Leonora Christine's personality and describe the story line.
