An opera in one act by EGON WELLESZ
Libretto after Euripides by HUGO VON HOFMANNSTHAL (sung in German)
(first broadcast in this country) The years following the first world war were among the most creative of Wellesz's life. His output included five operas based on the principles of baroque opera, of which he had made an intensive study. Alkestis- was produced in 1924. It is a typically stylised setting -choruses, orchestral dance episodes and an elaborate solo vocal line. It begins when Death comes to claim Alkestis. and tells how Herakles rescues her from Hades and restores her to her husband, Admet. Cast in order of singing:
