The Second Mrs Kong
''The Second Mrs Kong'' is an opera in two acts, with music by Sir Harrison Birtwistle to a libretto by Russell Hoban. Glyndebourne Touring Opera first staged the opera on 24 October 1994.〔Hewett, Ivan, "The Second Coming" (January 1995). ''The Musical Times'', 136 (1823): pp. 46-55.〕 The cast included Philip Langridge, Helen Field and Michael Chance. Tom Cairns designed and directed the production, in collaboration with choreographer Aletta Collins. Elgar Howarth was the conductor. This production was recorded for the National Video Archive of Performance by the V&A Theatre Museum. This recording is available to view by appointment at the V&A Collections Centre and Reading Room in Olympia, London.
The opera is a mix of ancient and modern mythologies as well as history. Jonathan Cross has commented that the work, "like so many of Birtwistle's operas....is concerned with mythology" and is more about "the idea of Kong" rather than King Kong as such. He has also analysed parallels between this work and Birtwistle's earlier opera ''The Mask of Orpheus''.〔Cross, Jonathan, "The Action Never Stops, It Only Changes" (November 1994). ''The Musical Times'', 135 (1821): pp. 698-703.〕 Robert Adlington has critically discussed the relationship of the opera's music to the words.〔Adlington, Robert, "Harrison Birtwistle's Recent Music" (April 1996). Tempo (New Ser.), 196: pp. 2-8.〕 David Beard has examined in detail the relationship of various forms of images to the music and Birtwistle's and Hoban's collaboration.
The second production of the opera took place in 1996 in Vienna.〔Wintle, Christopher, ''A Fine & Private Place'' (November 1996). ''The Musical Times'', 137 (1845): pp. 5-8.〕 The London premiere of the work was in November 2004, as part of the 70th birthday concerts for Birtwistle.
