About this Event
Luigi Cherubini’s Medea brings to life one of opera’s most electrifying tragedies, performed in Italian with Italian and English supertitles. Based on Euripides’ ancient drama and Pierre Corneille’s Médée, the opera tells the harrowing tale of Medea, the betrayed sorceress whose wrath leads to an unforgettable act of vengeance.
This production features a full cast and chorus, accompanied by violin, cello, and piano, evoking the powerful intensity of Cherubini’s dramatic score. The Italian version, immortalized by the legendary Maria Callas, heightens the opera’s emotional impact, showcasing Medea’s searing psychological depth and unrelenting passion. A masterpiece that bridges the Classical and Romantic eras, Medea remains a thrilling exploration of betrayal, power, and retribution.
