Mellojaphoney Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I don't particularly remember reading on DCP any threads about this but If there is a previous post, feel free to close this or whatever. Was the 93 show concept focused around actual story of Medea and Jason from the greek literature? I know that Barber's piece IS based on that story, but Never really knew if that was the entire show concept. This may be a stupid question, I don't particularly care about that though. Thanks.

Lance Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm pretty sure that the show designers did not build the show around the Medea narrative, though Barber obviously composed the actual piece for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Just music.....no "message" or storyline. Wouldn't mind seeing that sort of thing once in a while these days. Like, Santa Clara can't play fantastic music without having to give their show a goofy title, or what? "!", indeed! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
