The Wanton Sublime & The Medium

Work:: The Wanton Sublime & The Medium (S27407192)

"What does it mean to be chosen?" Inside Intelligence is proud to conclude its 20th anniversary season at the Arcola with the European premiere of The Wanton Sublime by twice Grammy-nominated composer Tarik O'Regan (Heart of Darkness) with a libretto by New York's award-winning feminist poet Anna Rabinowitz (Darkling). This ground-breaking electro-acoustic work for mezzo-soprano and chamber ensemble explores the human and mythic aspects of the Virgin Mary, who struggles to retain her flesh and blood identity in the face of external forces intent on symbolising her as the ideal woman. A one-act opera for an unaccompanied singer, The Medium is Peter Maxwell Davies' most extraordinary and daring work.
