About
Corinth, on the eve of a wedding celebration. Jason is about to marry Glauce, daughter of King Creon. But his past catches up with him: Medea, the barbarian sorceress whom he once loved – for whom he betrayed his homeland and killed his own brother – appears with their two children.
Rejected, banished and stripped of everything, she demands justice – then, faced with Jason’s indifference, descends into utter vengeance.
First performed in Paris in 1797, *Medea* is the masterpiece of Luigi Cherubini, a Florentine composer who settled in France during the Revolution. Based on a libretto by François-Benoît Hoffmann, inspired by Euripides and Corneille, he crafted a score of unprecedented power, admired by Beethoven, Brahms – who regarded it as ‘the pinnacle of dramatic music’ – and all the great Romantics.
