"ELISION also joins forces with Sydney Chamber Opera to stage the Sydney premiere of [Liza] Lim’s first opera, The #Oresteia, 33 years after its debut.. in 1993.. directed by Barrie Kosky, who also co-wrote the libretto with Lim." limelight-arts.com.au/news/elision... [July/Aug 2026]
Even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
and in our own despair, against our will,
comes wisdom to us
by the awful grace of the god.
- #Aeschylus, ‘ #Oresteia: #Agamemnon’ 176–183
Zeus, who guides mortals to be wise,
has established the fixed law —
wisdom comes through suffering.
- #Aeschylus, ‘ #Oresteia: #Agamemnon’ 176–183
Finally read the whole The Oresteia ‼️
✅️Fagle's Essay Introduction (which is wtf)
✅️Agamemnon
✅️The Libation Bearers
✅️The Eumenides
It seems kinda unfair to dock Aeschylus just because of Fagle's essay was so 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 if we are counting Fagles

Reading the Oresteia:
✅️ Agamemnon
✅️ The Libation Bearers
❌️ 🔛The Eumenides
Also that introduction is unintelligible if you haven't read the play first (or maybe I'm not smart enough). I'm going to try to read Fagles LB analysis because I did A.

So you couldn't have just said "singing", Fagles (translator)?

Cant’t wait to see this. “We have to figure this out, or we destroy ourselves. That is what the #Greeks are constantly saying: We have to figure this out.”. #Oresteia #STC #theater ...
Reasons to revisit London next year: 1 @The_Globe are doing a new version of the #Oresteia.
