Zusatztext This is the real Greek, bloody-fantastical thing... a mostly faithful translation rather than a "new version" by Anne Carson blending irony with pure poetry... this production puts no single foot wrong in dance, delirium or idyll: it's the complete experience, and though it's so potent at such close quarters, its operatic dimension should make it a visitor to the Proms' vast Albert Hall amphitheatre next season. In the meantime, I want a copy of Carson's text... now available in a publication from Oberon - since it's far too rich to absorb on a single hearing.
