Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus rex is widely acknowledged as one
of the most original music-theatre works of the twentieth century.
This clear and concise guide is the first ever to be written on this
work and it describes the music and its staging in close detail. It
offers the first proper explanation of the plot and its relation to
its literary sources and provides a fully documented discussion of the
origins of Oedipus rex in Stravinsky's own work and thinking. By
placing the work in its social context Stephen Walsh paints a vivid
picture of Parisian artistic politics in the twenties from which
emerges one of the richest and most suggestive works of art of modern
times.
