Productomschrijving
The setting is the rostrum of a provincial club on the East Coast of the United States, sometime in the second half of the 19th century. The Lecturer, a somewhat absent-minded man in his fifties, begins a lecture on water birds. At the beginning of the lecture his wife prompts him from offstage with coughing and throat-clearing. She soon leaves in disgust, and the Lecturer's talk digresses even further into his home life: his wife is a dominating, ill-tempered woman; he regrets the unfulfilled promises of his youth; and even his daughters make fun of him. At last, the explosion of his slide projector and the return of his wife ends his lecture, and he leaves the stage. A monodrama for male voice, with offstage coughing and throat-clearing, A Water Bird Talk is a good companion piece to Argento's later monodrama for soprano, Miss Havisham's Wedding Night. It provides an effective showpiece for a high baritone who can act as well as sing.
