Heart of Darkness (in association with Opera Genesis and American Opera Projects)
During 2011 OEP will give the world première of this latest work from composer, Tarik O’Regan, who has been described by The Observer as, “ one of the most original and eloquent of young composers … tonal but cutting edge”. Based on Joseph Conrad’s masterpiece of the same name and set in the African Congo at the height of European colonialism, it is the story of an obsessive search by Marlow, a steamboat captain, for Kurtz, a renowned ivory trader stationed farther up the river.The New York Times has described the opera as, “ … a dense dreamlike chamber opera heavily tinged with exoticism, like Death in Venice on steroids.” Click below for more information.
