Interview, Julian Perkins on Stephen Dodgson

11th March 2021

The conductor talks to Katherine about the world première recording of the 1979 chamber-opera Margaret Catchpole, which tells the story of a Suffolk servant-girl who was deported to Australia for stealing a horse in the late eighteenth century.

Among Stephen Dodgson's portfolio of more than 250 works are chamber operas, of which Margaret Catchpole: Two Worlds Apart is a most striking example. It is based on the true story of a woman who was convicted of the then capital crime of horse stealing and transported to Australia, and Dodgson conveys the romance and drama of the story with characteristic lyricism and rhythmic energy. Words are paramount for Dodgson, and his setting is vivid, immediate and tonal, with some swaggering rustic moments amidst the precise characterisation and idiomatic instrumental writing.

March 2021

Australian mezzo-soprano Kate Howden provides Antipodean representation – and much more besides – as Catchpole. William Wallace beguiles as bad boy Will Laud and Alistair Ollerenshaw is strong as the reliable, eventual ‘public benefactor’ John Barry. Unusually for an opera with an eponymous heroine, there’s even a happy ending.

May 2021

The Perpetuo ensemble play beautifully throughout, the whole directed impeccably by Julian Perkins.

August 2021

Small gestures make an effect, and he uses his limited forces (11 players, skilfully marshalled here under Julian Perkins) with discretion…Howden colours in the determination of Catchpole herself. The tenor William Wallace maintains a convincingly lyrical approach as her dubious (if not disastrous) admirer Will Laud.
