Gian Carlo Menotti's LABYRINTH
Company: Cambridge Chamber Ensemble (CCE)
In Menotti's LABYRINTH, an "operatic riddle", a young groom with his bride, are lost in a mysterious hotel, cannot find their key or their room! They meet an assortment of dotty characters: a bellboy, a seductive spy, an old man, an executive, and an astronaut — all offering strange advice and bad directions — but no key...
Commissioned for TV in 1963, Menotti presents his opera as an allegorical riddle – of course about life and death!
We don’t have all the special technical effects of a video production but we’ve got some stagecraft wizardry up our sleeves to guide you through the young couple’s ever more frantic search for their room – and their destiny.
