Backstage at Lyric #114 -- Discovery Series: Hercules

Update: 2011-03-03

Description

Hercules languished in obscurity for almost two centuries and didn’t receive its first modern performance until 1925! Director Peter Sellars gives us a new production with a fresh perspective on Handel's 1745 creation. For this Discovery Session, The University of Chicago's renowned mythologist Wendy Doniger and the ever-brilliant Sellars delve into the timeless themes and compelling characters of the work now considered one of the supreme achievements of its age.
