The Mask of Orpheus

Harrison Birtwhistle's contemporary take on the Orpheus story took him a whole decade to write; it's got an avant garde, non-linear approach that looks at its protagonists for every angle. Former ENO boss Daniel Kramer is at the helm of this production, the first London revival since it premiered over 30 years ago. His flamboyant take on 'The Mask of Orpheus' includes designs by outlandish costumier Daniel Lismore, who's known for his bold sculptural shapes, and features crystals provided by Swarovski. Martyn Brabbins will conduct.
