When George Benjamin and Martin Crimp partner up, magic occurs – and their fourth opera is no exception. Picture a day like this has garnered widespread acclaim since it premiered at the 2023 Aix-en-Provence Festival. The poignant fable unfolds as a mother mourning the death of her child goes on a quest to find one truly happy person, as she is told this will bring the infant back to life. But happiness is elusive. Seamlessly crafted, the opus draws inspiration from several ancient oriental and European tales. Like in H.C. Andersen’s The Story of a Mother, the mother’s surreal journey, meeting various characters, ends in a garden – where it transpires that there are no just answers to grief. Corinna Niemeyer, who assisted Benjamin during the creation, conducts the Orchestre de Chambre du Luxembourg and a dynamic international cast, including Marianne Crebassa in the role of the mother. Daniel Jeanneteau and Marie-Christine Soma co-direct.
