Pierre Bartholomée : La Folie d'?dipe Print
Saturday, 24 September 2011

?Tumult and tension: ?dipe sur la route is more than that. Yet it is mainly these characteristics that are brought out in La Folie d??dipe?. Thus wrote Pierre Bartholomée in his introductory note to La Folie d??dipe [?The Madness of ?dipus?], an orchestral suite taken - as might be imagined - from his opera ?dipe sur la route, first staged at La Monnaie in 2003 in a production by Philippe Sireuil conducted by Daniele Callegari and with José van Dam in the title role. His ?suite?, premiered in Prague in 2008, will receive its first Belgian performance in that same La Monnaie on 2 October next, conducted by Patrick Davin. In this new work Pierre Bartholomée wanted to return to the important role the orchestra had in his first opera, unravelling - without watering it down - the role of that crucial actor almost chronologically as the drama evolves. ?dipus? madness is a new opportunity for the composer to demonstrate his attachment to the interpretation of the ?dipus myth elaborated by the writer Henri Bauchau. He also wrote Diotime et les lions (CYP4625) and ?dipe sur la Route, taken from the eponymous novels as well as the opera La Lumière Antigone (first performed at La Monnaie in 2008 with Mireille Delunsch in the role title) taken from the novel Antigone.
