GOING TO THE OPERA By Sasha Slater Harper’s Bazaar UK, August 2015

It’s 10 days before Sophie Hunter is due to give birth but she arrives in a private club in SoHo looking fresh, elegant and relaxed. The theatre director exudes poise and confidence, which is lucky since she is now a red carpet fixture on the arm of Benedict Cumberbatch who she wed in February. At awards ceremonies and premieres she favours Erdem but she married in a 12th-century church on the Isle of Wight in an exquisite grey cloud of Valentino lace. 

The marriage was a classy affair, but then Hunter is an extremely classy woman. A product of St. Paul Girls’ School and Oxford University, she also studied drama at the Jacques Lecoq theatre school in Paris which gives her patrician cool on international edge. It was there, she says, that she first realized she wanted to direct rather than act. ‘To direct, you have to lead and that’s the challenge,’ she says. ‘You’re leading a gang, a family. In Paris, the directing bug got me and the minute I realised I had the ability to inspire other people. I could never let it go.’

Her next project is a Benjamin Britten cantata about Phaedra at this year’s Beckett Festival in Enniskillen. The doomed second wife of Theseus, which will be sung by the talented mezzo-soprano Ruby Philogene. The piece may be only 16 minutes long but Hunter is intent on shocking and delighting the audience. For her, it is not enough for a character to as she puts it, ‘park-and bark’. 'I find opera quite staid! I think we should be approaching librettos and directing opera in the same way as we approach theatre. I don’t want people to just shut their eyes and listen to music.’ As a result she spends as much time and thought on the costume, the set and the way the production will evolve as she does on the music itself. In her mind, Racine connects to Beckett who links to Britten. The cantata will be performed in an equestrian centre in a ruined castle on an island, which echoes the ruin of the house of Minos, Phaedra’s father, and a connection to horses with Hippolytus (her stepson, with whom she is infatuated) through his mother, the Amazon queen Hippolyta. 

In Hunter’s world, literature and music, art, lighting, film and opera all come together in a glorious creative swirl. And now she’s introducing a tiny baby into this imaginative maelstrom. ‘Yes, with a whole team.’ she says smiling. 'I’ve been working with a company in New York called the Phantom Limb and saw them bring up a child in rehearsals, and it’s just the most wonderful place. You’re surrounded by people, amazing music, art, images, attention. And the child of actors and directors has to be peripatetic– with some bases, I hope.’

But there is one person she’s not aiming to collaborate with professionally anytime soon: her husband. ‘I’ve never directed Benedict, though we did work together as actors. But I think we’ll just keep with the marriage for now. And the family.’ 

‘Phaedra’ is at Necarne Equestrian Centre on 31 July and 1 August as part of the 4th Happy Days Enniskillen International Beckett Festival. Book here
