  3. Medea


I must crush Jason's house, I have to kill my children. And when I performed this, the most wicked act anyone can do, I flee the country and my punishment. Never again will he see the child he had with me. And never shall he beget new children with her. If I can not say that I am weak. - From Medea

Medea, a mother who kills her own children, is one of world literature's most controversial figures. She has abandoned her own family, sacrificed everything for her husband Jason and arrived as a refugee in a new country. Once there, she left by Jason bitter may regret their unfaithfulness. In Daniel Börtz newly written opera is Euripides' ancient drama - modernized by Agneta Pleijel and Jan Stolpe - an intense psychological experience in which Medea's furious, bloody revenge is central.

Daniel Börtz is one of Sweden's most acclaimed and prolific composer, and has written several operas before, including Bacchae, which was erected in the direction of Ingmar Bergman 1991.Medea was commissioned by the Royal Opera and directed by Stefan Larsson, a theater director at the Betty Nansen Teatret in Copenhagen . Medea is his debut as an opera director.
