Stravinsky's “Oedipus Rex” returns to the Gulbenkian Grand Auditorium

Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian Avenidas Novas · Lisbon

The Gulbenkian Orchestra and Choir open the season with Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex, conducted by Hannu Lintu, in a programme that also includes Debussy's La Damoiselle élue.

Full details

🎤 Stravinsky's “Oedipus Rex” returns to the Gulbenkian Grand Auditorium. The Gulbenkian Orchestra and Choir open the season with Oedipus Rex by Igor Stravinsky, under the direction of Hannu Lintu. The work combines opera, oratorio and theatre in a monumental rereading of the tragedy of Oedipus, performed in Latin and articulated by the presence of a narrator. Stravinsky composed Oedipus Rex on a libretto by Jean Cocteau based on Sophocles. The ritual distance created by the Latin language, the choral blocks and the neoclassical writing turns a familiar story into a ceremony of great dramatic intensity. Before Oedipus Rex, the programme includes La Damoiselle élue by Claude Debussy, a work for female voices, choir and orchestra inspired by a poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The contrast between Debussy's sonic sensuality and Stravinsky's severe architecture shapes the evening. The cast brings together Erika Baikoff, Victoria Karkacheva, Russell Thomas, Paul Gay, Günther Groissböck and the actor João Reis as narrator. The approximate duration is 105 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. Programme: Claude Debussy, La Damoiselle élue. 20-minute interval. Igor Stravinsky, Oedipus Rex. On stage: Choir

Show original (Portuguese)

🎤 “Oedipus Rex” de Stravinsky regressa ao Grande Auditório da Gulbenkian A Orquestra e o Coro Gulbenkian abrem a temporada com Oedipus Rex, de Igor Stravinsky, sob a direção de Hannu Lintu. A obra combina ópera, oratória e teatro numa releitura monumental da tragédia de Édipo, apresentada em latim e articulada pela presença de um narrador. Stravinsky compôs Oedipus Rex sobre um libreto de Jean Cocteau baseado em Sófocles. A distância ritual criada pela língua latina, pelos blocos corais e pela escrita neoclássica transforma uma história conhecida numa cerimónia de grande intensidade dramática. Antes de Oedipus Rex, o programa inclui La Damoiselle élue, de Claude Debussy, obra para vozes femininas, coro e orquestra inspirada num poema de Dante Gabriel Rossetti. O contraste entre a sensualidade sonora de Debussy e a arquitetura severa de Stravinsky estrutura a noite. O elenco reúne Erika Baikoff, Victoria Karkacheva, Russell Thomas, Paul Gay, Günther Groissböck e o ator João Reis como narrador.
