Burial At Thebes Tickets

Burial At Thebes presents a unique fusion of classic Greek tragedy and contemporary opera. Originating from Seamus Heaney’s verse translation of Antigone, which was reimagined as an opera by Dominique Le Gendre, this project brings a literary and musical experience to life on stage. Premiering in London at the Globe Theatre in 2008, Burial At Thebes has since toured and been staged by universities and arts venues, offering a thoughtful, accessible entry point to a storied work.

In late 2025, a production was presented at the Proscenium Theater in the FAIC at Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic, CT, showcasing how this interpreted tragedy continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. Tickets for the Willimantic engagement were listed as the best available price, inviting a broad range of theater-goers to experience this compelling fusion of literature and music.
