Stravinsky - Oedipus Rex

Jessye Norman, Bryn Terfel and Philip Langridge head a star cast in a stunning staging of Stravinsky's opera-oratorio. One of the most visually compelling stagings of any 20th century opera. Julie Taymor's amazing film of Stravinsky's opera-oratorio 'Oedipus Rex' won many awards, following its staging at the Saito Kinen Festival in Japan in 1992. Julie Taymor (designer and director of 'The Lion King') both directed the production and designed the costumes, basing the unique look of the production on early Japanese Haniwa and European Cycladic sculpture (3200-2200 BC), and assisted by a striking set design from George Tsypin and clay make-up from Reiko Kruk. With the great English tenor Philip Langridge in the ill-fated title role, an imperious Jessye Norman as Jocasta, and a young Bryn Terfel as Creon, this was an ideal cast, delivering powerful performances of Stravinsky's archaic drama of disease, corruption, murder, suicide and, finally, self-inflicted blinding. The speaking role is taken by the Japanese actor Min Tanaka, with an all-Japanese male chorus and dancer (as Oedipus's double). The polished Saito Kinen Orchestra was conducted by maestro Seiji Ozawa.
