Gracchus: An Opera of Civic Redemption
GRACCHUS is modern opera on a grand scale which tells the tale of a Roman family’s tragic quest to reform themselves and civil society.
he opera’s ancient setting, the late Roman Republic, a period of socio-economic dislocation and factional strife, lends itself to an allegory of contemporary political history and a penetration of the topic of populism. Though based on Plutarch’s Lives, the story is an energetic fiction propelled by timeless questions of the human condition.
