Oeuvre: The Trial

Philip Glass and Christopher Hampton's operatic version of Kafka’s The Trial captures the essence of the book and this production does justice to the opera and its origin

Scottish Opera’s production of Philip Glass and Christopher Hampton's The Trial says less about Kafka’s vision of an absurd world and more about the absurdity of contemporary operatic conventions.

Philip Glass finds a new simplicity in an impressive première production of The Trial from Music Theatre Wales.
