• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Who were the Sibyls, those oracular women who, from antiquity to the Renaissance, established a connection between humanity and the afterlife? La Tempête delves into their enigmatic world in this scenic production that blends Baroque music by Monteverdi and Purcell with Mediterranean folk music and contemporary compositions. In works by Alfonso X el Sabio, Cristóbal de Morales, Xenakis, and Moultaka, the singers invoke the ancient soothsayers to gauge what they still have to tell us today.
