The Troy Connection
Update RequiredTo play audio, update browser or
Flash plugin.
Ulysses and his men in a Greco-Roman mosaic.
Helen of Troy, the Trojan Horse, Ulysses, Circe, Penelope, the Sirens..
It’s a story over 3000 years old, inspiring not only books, poems, and films, but a wide range of musical settings—some dramatic, some tender—and, in one case, playful.
In this hour, works by Purcell, Mozart, Berlioz, Debussy, Fauré, Offenbach and more./p>
