... grand moment when the transcendent nature of the music rebuffed the crush of the indifferent fate …
The myth of Orpheus, who addressed gods by dint of music, has been one of the greatest myths for centuries. Musicians on the Titanic, who kept playing until the end and might have helped more than 2000 souls on the sinking steamer, have been recognized as the global myth of our time.
Production: Slovenian National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana
Sheep have been central to the human story.
The key player in human history, this remarkable animal has been feeding, healing, clothing, and supporting us to prosperity and misery, to build empires and devastate landscapes, to decorate our homes and discover new continents, to build cities and create works of art.
Sheep are not just cattle waiting to become meat.
