Taking on the role of the Greek chorus, the singers of Chamber Choir Ireland tell the tale of Oedipus, King of Thebes, as he hunts for the man who murdered the predecessor to his throne.

As the mystery unfolds, Oedipus uncovers what we, in the audience, know to be true, that he is doomed to the ironies of fate. He has already unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy delivered to him by an oracle long ago: that he would one day kill his own father and marry his mother.

Led by Artistic Director Paul Hillier, Chamber Choir Ireland perform this rarely heard work, Edipo Tiranno, offering all the best of Ancient Greek storytelling and Italian renaissance music, in what is a notable example of Gabrieli’s subtle and expressive use of harmonic colouring throughout.

This concert will be available to stream for online audiences for one week only, from 6pm Friday 19th November - Friday 26th November.

Chamber Choir is funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaion, is a resident ensemble at the National Concert Hall, and associate artist at Dublin City University.
