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.

Composed early in Stravinsky's neoclassical period, the work combines ancient text with modern techniques and employs a narrator, as well as named soloists. A fascinating musical and psychological journey ensues…
