The Bear is an extravaganza in one act for three soloists and
orchestra, commissioned by the Koussevitsky Foundation in 1965 and
first performed at the Aldeburgh Festival in 1967. It is based on a
short story of Chekhov, with a libretto by Paul Dehn. The action
takes place in the drawing room of Madam Popova's house in the
country in 1888. Popova, a pretty widow affectedly faithful to the
memory of her late and, alas, promiscuous, husband is confronted by
Smirnov, one of her husband's more boorish creditors. They quarrel
to a point at which each aims a loaded pistol at the other, but
neither can fire. They have both fallen helplessly in love. This
new edition is based on a full assessment of all extant sources and
takes account of Walton's various revisions. A new vocal score is
also published on sale, and new orchestral material fully
compatible with this score is available for hire.
