Oedipus Tex
Composer:P.D.Q. Bach
Librettist:P.D.Q. Bach
Synopsis
The parody of the Greek tragedy centers on Oedipus Tex, a cowboy and the brother of Oedipus Rex. Along the way he shoots some strangers, solves a riddle by Big Foot, and settles down with the queen of the rodeo, Billie Joe Casta. Soon a plague infests the town, and Madam Peep, the fotune-teller, explains that Oedipus Text is the cause of all the trouble. In despair Billie Joe hangs herself, and the repentant Tex gouges out his eyes with his wife's rhinestone barrettes. The action closes with the chorus singing "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You."
