Heiner Goebbels is a German composer and director whose career has involved numerous compositions for radio, film and theatre in the 1980s, today Goebbels is one of the most important exponents of the contemporary music and theatre scene. In this piece the Tableaux are dedicated to four key twentieth-century literary texts by T.S. Eliot, Maurice Blanchot, Franz Kafka and Samuel Beckett. Although markedly different, each text focuses on a fragmented and anonymous protagonist, an anti-hero who embarks on a journey to everywhere and nowhere. Through imaginative staging and a wonderfully restrained vocal presence that is strikingly different from the performance style often found on the operatic stage, the four singers bring each story vividly to life.

The Hilliard Ensemble is considered to be one of the world’s finest vocal chamber groups and has gained a formidable reputation in both early and new music since its beginnings in the 1980s. Its involvement in I went to the house but did not enter marks a significant and highly rewarding development for the group. Its members are David James (countertenor), Rogers Covey-Crump (tenor), Steven Harrold (tenor) and Gordon Jones (baritone).
