Synopsis
Impressed by Jean Cocteauâs rewrite of Antigone, Stravinsky asked the poet for an adaptation of Oedipus Rex. The resulting libretto brings together the key scenes of Sophoclesâs tragedy translated by the AbbĂ© Jean DaniĂ©lou into Latinâa language that, according the composer, âis not dead but engraved in stone, and so imposing that it is immune to any popularizationâ.
