Alceste (Euripides)
Composer:George Frideric Handel
Librettist:Euripides (Greek tragedian)
Synopsis
Written at the dawn of theater itself tragicomedy masterpiece ALCESTE blends the funny and the sad with the surprising and transcendent. Presented for the first time with a stunningly beautiful score by G.F. Handel, written to accompany a now lost 18th century translation of Euripides; play, as well as music from Handel's (an early take on the same myth). Real life husband and wife KenYatta and Michelle Rogers take the title couple role, joined by Maribeth DIggle as the irreverent hero Hercules. Euripides; Greek chorus becomes an ensemble of some of the best Baroque voices in the area, all accompanied by the acclaimed INnovatio Baroque Orchestra. Famed poet Ted Hughes' free and imaginative translation is the heart of this production, with new texts by DC playwright Sybil Roberts.
