Mark-Anthony Turnage: GREEK (Preview)
Channel: DeutscheOperBerlin
Date: 2021-08-10

An Oedipus called Eddy

The tragic Oedipus figure as an English underdog from London's Eastend? A score somewhere between Leos Janacek, Igor Stravinsky and Miles Davis with extensive percussion passages and stomping motifs? Mark-Anthony Turnage's GREEK exploded many conventions in 1988 with an offbeat, raucous and at times rather crude overwriting of the Greek myth.

Under the musical direction of Yi-Chen Lin director Pinar Karabulut is now staging this chamber opera Open-Air on the parking deck. In this preview, both explain how it all fits together.

Premiere on 27 Aug 2021, more shows on 28/8; 3/4/5/7/8 Sept – with Dean Murphy, Irene Roberts, Seth Carico, Heidi Stober and musicians of the orchestra of Deutsche Oper Berlin.
