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.
