The Indian Queen
March 14, 2015
In this vibrant production, devised by acclaimed director Peter Sellars, the rich and transcendent score of Purcell's final unfinished opera is reworked around a new text and the inclusion of a number of Purcell's most ravishing religious anthems. This new retelling of The Indian Queen recounts the initial confrontation between Europeans and the Mayans of the New World through a personal account from the female perspective, which Sellars has based on "The Lost Chronicles of Terra Firma" by Nicaraguan author Rosario Aguilar.
