Medea Maria

Work:: Medea Maria (S1244332689)

A deeply moving and powerful performance of Euripides' Medea, retold through the lens of Maria Callas, one of the last great divas of opera. The opera parallels and contrasts the life of the great opera singer and that of the character Medea who Callas played many times in her career. A tale of betrayal, heartbreak and the fury of a woman who would become her own legend. The harrowing tale of Medea will unfold before you in perpetual motion through the image of the moving human form within time and space. The opera's fresh and original score has been composed by Helen Madden and blends the traditional structure and dramatic tones of opera with that of repetitive minimalistic music, to create an environment that transports the viewer to a world which pauses between reality and fiction.
