Oedipus Rex at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma
About the Event
Immerse yourself in the ancient world of Sophocles' Oedipus, as Daniele Gatti leads a performance of Stravinsky's 'opera‐oratorio' at the Opera di Roma. An all‐star cast, including Brenden Gunnell, Ekaterina Semenchuk, and Michele Pertusi join Gatti for this rare outing of a complex work.
