P. GLASS — Les Enfants Terribles
Opera
A world so safe, it is no longer livable.
How do people build a world to protect themselves from the uncertainty of existence? A world that starts out as a refuge, then evolves into a game, a system, and finally becomes a prison. The tragedy is not that they lack love, but that their love leaves no room for the unknown…
Les Enfants Terribles by Philip Glass is a gripping and poetic chamber opera based on Jean Cocteau’s novel of the same name. The hypnotic piano music enhances the intimate atmosphere of this deeply moving work.
