About

With Penthesilea, his seventh opera, Pascal Dusapin has written a wild and powerful masterpiece – the story of a terrible love that conveys a concern to the World. The composer achieves between song and breath a passionate art of vocality. His music, intense and refined, creates a subtly coloured enigmatic atmosphere in the dark and barbarous war between Achilles and Penthesilea.

Reviews

As an unbroken 90-minute span, [Penthesilea] makes an impressively taut, compelling drama. ... The recording from the Monnaie performances is wonderfully clear and spacious. Every detail of the orchestral writing, with the electronics that Duspain uses very sparingly, registers under Franck Ollu...  Andrew Clements
