Christine Baranski Narrates `A Christmas Carol' Before Returning for New `The Gilded Age' Season
Christine Baranski narrates a concert-length, 5,000-word condensation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol with Grammy-nominated Skylark Vocal Ensemble and 10 carols underscored by composer Benedict Sheehan.
- Christine Baranski narrates a concert-length condensation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, featuring Matthew Guard's Grammy-nominated Skylark Vocal Ensemble, released on the LSO Live label.
- To fit a concert program, Matthew Guard, artistic director, trimmed Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol from about 30,000 words to 5,000, creating room for musical moments and commissioning Benedict Sheehan, composer, for underscoring.
- After coaching with Howard Samuelsohn, dialect coach, Christine Baranski prepared via Zoom to shape a 19th-century delivery, drawing on recent narration experience and Emmy- and Tony-winning stage skills.
- This week, she will perform with the Skylark Vocal Ensemble on Thursday at The Morgan Library & Museum, New York, and again the following night at The Breakers, Newport, Rhode Island, while the Morgan displays the manuscript through Jan. 11.
- Baranski hopes the project has a future, suggesting it become an annual event at The Morgan Library & Museum and noting few women have narrated compared to Alistair Cooke, Patrick Stewart, and Patrick Page.
