“Words of hate pay for words of hate. Blood is paid for with blood.” Aeschylus’ Oresteia tells of the devastating consequences of war, of the eternal spiral of violence and revenge. And finally, of the birth of democracy, a “statute that shall be valid for all time.”

The Oresteia

City Theatre, Bern

It's a veritable coup! The grand master of contemporary Italian opera is bringing the world premiere of his latest ancient work to the Bern Opera: A flash of light flickers in the darkness, the signal fire on the horizon, announcing Agamemnon's arrival in his homeland. The king returns victorious from the Trojan War, but a broken man. As spoils of war, Agamemnon brings Cassandra, the prophetess whose visions are never believed. Upon her arrival, she sees blood flowing.
