LONDON — Oedipus is putting on a vibrant crimson tracksuit. His mom and dad, brandishing beer bottles, are off towards the pub to look at a soccer match. “So, I had been born in Tufnell Park,” he says aggressively to the audience, including: “It’s a cesspit!” Yes, we have been in the opera. Being specific, Mark-Anthony Turnage’s “Greek” (1988), which makes its Ny debut at the Brooklyn Academy of Audio on Wednesday in a very production from Opera Ventures and also the Scottish Opera. During the eighty-minute opera, Sophocles’s “Oedipus Rex” is moved for the trash-strewn streets of the modern London troubled because of the plagues of unemployment, poverty, law enforcement brutality and consumerism. |
