Oedipe

In 1909, after attending a performance of Oedipus Rex at the Comédie-Française, George Enescu hastened to transcribe the first bars of his one and only opera. The completed work would ultimately have its world premiere at the Paris Opera in 1936. The influences of his teacher Fauré, of Stravinsky, Debussy and Romania’s ancestral musical traditions all fuelled an orchestral and vocal composition of unparalleled originality. The work was rarely staged at opera houses during the 20th century. For his Paris Opera debut, Wajdi Mouawad evokes the life of Oedipus – the man unaware of his own identity – in a continuum of organic, vegetal, ethereal and aquatic images.
