People behind the production
Oedipus Rex, the renowned 1927 opera-oratorio by Igor Stravinsky, invites audiences into a neoclassical tapestry of musicianship and storytelling. Traditionally performed with narration in the audience’s language and Latin libretto translations by Jean Daniélou, this work blends concert-like textures with a dramatic arc. Premiered on May 30, 1927 in Paris at Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt, the piece remains a cornerstone for lovers of modernist opera and classical drama.
