Stravinsky Double Bill, SF Symphony
Sean Panikkar (Oedipus), Sir Willard White (Creon), Laurel Jenkins (Isemene/dancer), Breezy Leigh (Antigone/Narrator) in Stravinsky's Oedipus rex Photo (c) Kristen Loken, courtesy of San Francisco Symphony San Francisco Symphony's weekend performances were a Stravinsky double bill, of the composer's opera-oratorio Oedipus rex and the big choral work Symphony of Psalms. Both were splendidly performed by Esa-Pekka Salonen, the orchestra, the chorus, and the soloists. Peter Sellars directed.

I hope for a revival of the work at San Francisco Opera one of these years.

Against a semicircular backdrop of rusted corrugated iron, the visual rendering of the scenes is highly effective. There are brilliantly choreographed, and often ‘slow motion’, movements, and outstanding […]
