Roberto Gerhard's *La Dueña*, recorded here by Opera North under Antoni Ros-Marbà's direction, represents a fascinating corner of twentieth-century operatic invention. Gerhard, the Catalan modernist who spent much of his life in Britain, brought his distinctive harmonic language—neither wholly twelve-tone nor traditionally tonal—to this work, crafting something genuinely theatrical yet musically uncompromising. Based on Sheridan's play, the opera unfolds across three acts with Gerhard's characteristic blend of lyrical warmth and structural sophistication, the orchestra and voices weaving together in ways that feel both dramatically urgent and intellectually rigorous. This 1997 Chandos recording captures the work with clarity and engagement, making a persuasive case for a composer whose operatic output deserves far wider recognition. It's a reminder that mid-century modernism in opera produced far more than the European vanguard tends to celebrate.
