How much insight is possible in a world where we are constantly confronted with pictures? Are we blinded by the constant flow of visual information? What if we could only hear – as Oedipus after his self-blinding?

Ødipus REC. is a newly composed piece of music theatre that, proceeding from the crucial encounter of Oedipus and Tiresias, re-consults the ancient myth for its current topicality. What happens between Theresias – woman and man at the same time, mother of four children and infallible seer – and Oedipus – just ruler of Thebes, liberator of the city, foundling, but arrogant investigating judge. It is about Oedipus’ guilt, but also about the blind spot of our own sight, about the unsaid and the unheard.

Acis and Galatea was Handel’s most popular stage work during his lifetime, and arguably ever since. He made versions in two and three acts and combined it with other works including his own early Italian-language setting of the same myth. The work was later rescored by composers from Mozart to Mendelssohn. 

This performance constitutes a rare revival of the very first version of Handel’s ‘little opera’, the one-act “Masque” created very simply at Cannons in the summer of 1718. The courtly masquerade of the 16th and 17th centuries is a direct ancestor of baroque opera in England.

Georgia Tryfona – Galatea

Michael Taylor – Acis

Konrad Furian – Damon

Will Kwiatkowski – Polyphemus

Holden Madagame – Coridon
