Oedipe

Royal Opera House, London, WC2E 9DD

  • An excellent cast including Johan Reuter, John Tomlinson, Sarah Connolly and Sophie Bevan perform the Royal Opera’s first production of Enescu’s operatic masterpiece Oedipe, directed by acclaimed Catalan company La Fura dels Baus.
    Oedipe is destined to murder his father and marry his mother. His parents arrange for his murder but instead he is raised as a prince of Corinth. Discovering the prophecy, he flees Corinth – only unwittingly to kill his true father and marry his mother.
    Catalan theatre group La Fura dels Baus (Le Grand Macabre, ENO) first staged their production of Oedipe at La Monnaie, Brussels, in 2011. True to form for this innovative theatre company, their spectacular take on Enescu’s exploration of fate and freedom creates an earthen world ravaged by both natural and man-made disaster. From this land of clay Enescu’s breathtaking score soars – encompassing everything from Berliozian opulence to eerie Sprechstimme – in this sole operatic statement from a great musician.
