Iannis Xenakis: Oresteia September 16, 2008

Libretto adapted from Aeschylus

The renowned choreographer Luca Veggetti directs this monumental work incorporating theater, dance, music, and projections. This will be the U.S. premiere of the final version of Oresteia, Iannis Xenakis’s only opera. Both an architect and composer, Xenakis reimagines Aeschylus’s epic tragedy through the lens of Japanese Noh theater. The immense cast comprises bass Wilbur Pauley, a chorus of 36 singers, six dancers, a children’s chorus, and orchestra.
