We are delighted to present the world premiere of Edward Nesbit’s Antigone - a chamber opera in three parts.
In the face of tragedy, Antigone struggles to give her brother the burial he deserves – but at what cost to herself?
Creon, King of Thebes, has forbidden that burial and promised death to anyone who disobeys him. Will Antigone pay the ultimate price for her disobedience?
In the world premiere of his new chamber opera, Edward Nesbit brilliantly illuminates the ancient tragedy of Antigone, and tells a story as vividly urgent today as it was two and a half millennia ago.
