We usually don’t care much about political views of composers, but Henze lived very recently (he died in 2012) and his political views affected much of what he wrote.

He also played the part of Marcus Antonius who in the end finishes up in an enraptured political union with Cleopatra (really, the captain of the guard was too beneath her but, I guess, ok for a slave-girl) vanishing into thin air but in this case in a mummy-decorated sarcophagus with Cleopatra’s puppet having the final say poking his head through it. The audience roared with delight.The production featured plenty […]
