New material from Scott Walker arrives in the form of a score to a dance piece at at the Royal Opera House this month. Walker’s piece soundtracks a re-imagining of Jean Cocteau’s monologue Duet For One, choreographed by Royal Opera House associate artist Aletta Collins.

Walker says: “I must admit to not really being an admirer of Cocteau. I am, however, an admirer of Aletta Collins and her work. So when Aletta asked me to collaborate with the intention of deconstructing the original script for dance, I was grateful for the challenge to help take what is essentially, in my humble opinion, an antiquated piece of misogyny (in this case, woman as willing victim) and try to turn it on its head and use its traces to create something new."

Duet For One is performed alongside La Voix Humane, Poulenc’s opera based on Cocteau’s play from 1932, staged by Tom Cairns. London Royal Opera House, 17–25 June, 7:45pm, £10.20–£24.50.

Mats Gustafsson has been awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize for 2011. The prize awards an individual musician “whose efforts are co-creative and important for the form, sound and context of the musical expression”, and who has attracted attention for improvisational work in 2010.

The prize has been going since 1965, and the adjudication committee has one member from each of the five Nordic countries (see a full list of committee members here). It is awarded alternately to a living composer or practising artist, and is worth €47,000. In 2010 and 2011 Gustafsson released records and played with The Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet, Fire!, Jim O’Rourke, The Thing, The Ex, Barry Guy, and more.

The Council’s adjudicating committee said: “For over two decades Mats Gustafsson has been one of the big names in improvised music… Mats does not just renew the saxophone expression, he reinvents it and creates new worlds of music between the tones and behind the noise... We recommend that you open your hearts and let yourself be enchanted by Mats Gustafsson's musical universe."
