خلفية
A noteworthy feature of the opera is its construction like a classical symphony in four 'movements'[1]:
- 'Movement I' = sonata form
- 'Movement II' = scherzo and trio
- 'Movement III' = adagio and fugue
- 'Movement IV' = passacaglia
Henze has noted that he quotes from Johann Sebastian Bach's St. Matthew Passion and the English Suite in D minor.[2] Auden and Kallman wrote of changes that they made to the Euripides original for the purposes of this opera.[3]
تاريخ الأداء
It was first performed in a German translation by Maria Basse-Sporleder in Salzburg on 6 August 1966 conducted by Christoph von Dohnanyi.
The first performance using the original English text, as well as the US premiere, was at Santa Fe Opera on 7 August 1968, with the composer conducting.[4] The opera was also given in لندن on 22 September 1968, and was revived at English National Opera in October 1974, with the composer conducting.[5]
In October 1990, two concert performances sung in the original English were given at Severance Hall in Cleveland, Ohio, by the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus with soloists Vernon Hartman, Kenneth Riegel, and, in the role of Agave, Anja Silja. Christoph von Dohnanyi, who was married to Silja at the time, conducted. This same production was repeated at Carnegie Hall in November 1990 at the New York premiere of the music, which was attended by the composer.
