| Description |
Kosky, who directed the now legendary 1996 Adelaide Festival, has created an operatic work of stunning beauty, rich theatrical imagination and human drama. Massive choruses, a heartbreaking score and a lavish, baroque world bring this mythic tale of a Lear-like mad king and his crumbling family to life. |
