| Synopsis |
"Kronborg: 1582 is, essentially, a treatise on Shakespeare's Hamlet. I have attempted to use different musical forms to augment characters and situations. A fool is made to be more foolish. A deep emotion is made to be experienced sensitively" (qtd. from Cliff Jones "Notes." Kronborg: 1582. Program 1974). |
