Medea 2024

Medea 2024. The immolation of medea in the temple, burned by the avenging fury of the flames, constitutes one of the most overwhelming and visionary moments in the history of opera. After her showstopping aria (“quel prix…”), desandre incarnated a second medea revealing a facade of her artistry that has been, until now, unknown to the public.

The epic tells the story of medea, a refugee whose reality is shattered when she learns of her and her children’s looming exile, investigating parallels between the myth and the current. A formidable witch, mistress of.
