Aristos - The Complete Libretto

"Beyond bringing the story of the deep and abiding love between Patroclus and Achilles out of the shadow of The Odyssey, ARISTOS also makes that story relevant to our 21st century world. With its brilliant casting, score and libretto, ARISTOS cuts through preconceptions about an old, seemingly well-known piece of literature and gives new voice and face to each character, from Briseis to Agamemnon. This is not some rehashing of a - dare I say the C word? - "classic". Rather, this is a newly conceived and newly born telling of truths as old as human companionship: the joy that is love found and the abiding grief that is love lost. This is at once ancient and new, and it will wring your soul to witness it." - Mary Blum, California Classical Association - Northern Section
