Description
Poul Ruders’ opera features a score that draws on medieval chants and gospel music. Together with a minimalist libretto by Paul Bentley, this production captures the dissonant brutality of the Republic of Gilead.
This thought-provoking work, revived after a successful run in 2022 which we reported, asks questions around state power and the fragility of freedom.
More information is available on the official website of the opera house.
