Tom Cipullo's The Parting is part of the Seattle-based Music of Remembrance project, which seeks to commission works commemorating the Holocaust, but there's more to Cipullo's work than the basic idea. David Mason's libretto takes up the subject of poet Miklós Radnóti, who was of Jewish background and was killed by the Nazis on a forced labor march. After the war, his body was exhumed, and poems describing the things he had seen were found in his pockets. Mason juxtaposes these with an imagined final night Radnóti spent with his wife, expressing their love and reflecting on the meaning of life in the face of unimaginable evil. This is an opera, but partly also a song cycle, and Cipullo responds to the tale with a unique musical language. His basic style is neo-Romantic, rooted in verismo and other late operatic Romantic styles, but these harmonies may veer off, in accordance with the libretto, into darker dissonant sounds, and Cipullo does this in such a way as to convey an atmosphere of looming existential threat. He also leaves some text spoken, as if to suggest the encroachment of a realm where music does not exist. There are three characters; Death is present in addition to Radnóti and his wife, Fanni. All the singers are very strong; baritone Michael Mayes conveys Radnóti's complexity as an individual. The opera's ending is powerful, paradoxically affirming life and art, and listeners will both hope and expect that this opera will find further performances and recordings in small-scale productions of the kind colleges and universities are capable of. Producer Dmitriy Lipay, working at a small Seattle recital hall, achieves excellent sound that gives room to both intimate conversations and violent events; he garnered a Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year for his work.
