Heralded by the New York Times as “one of the most inspired, audacious and personal operas to have come along in years”, Thomas Adès's 2004 opera uses the tales of Prospero, Caliban and Ariel – as well as the young Ferdinand and Miranda – to raise issues about the thirst for vengeance, the power of good and evil, the nature of magic, the possibility of love, and paths to reconciliation.
The libretto by Australian dramatist Meredith Oakes preserves Shakespeare's poetry, while at the same time providing space for the soaring and thrilling music of Adès, whose vocal works frequently tests the limits of the human voice and present a quite formidable challenge to the singers.
