The Pilgrim's Progress is an opera by Ralph Vaughan Williams, based on John Bunyan's 1678 allegory The Pilgrim's Progress. The composer himself described the work as a 'Morality' rather than an opera. Nonetheless, he intended the work to be performed on stage, rather than in a church or cathedral. Vaughan Williams himself prepared the libretto, with interpolations from the Bible and also text from his second wife, Ursula Wood. His changes to the story included altering the name of the central character from 'Christian' to 'Pilgrim', so as to universalise the spiritual message.

  • The Pilgrim's Progress è un'opera di Ralph Vaughan Williams, basata sull'allegoria di John Bunyan Il pellegrinaggio del cristiano. Lo stesso compositore ha descritto l'opera come una "Morale" piuttosto che un'opera. Voleva però che il lavoro fosse eseguito sul palcoscenico, piuttosto che in una chiesa o in una cattedrale. Lo stesso Vaughan Williams preparò il libretto, con interpolazioni della Bibbia e anche testi della sua seconda moglie, Ursula Wood. Le sue modifiche alla storia includevano l'alterazione del nome del personaggio centrale da "cristiano" a "pellegrino", in modo da universalizzare il messaggio spirituale. (it)
