Byron In Greece
Winter Concert 2005-06
Following the premiere offering of three arias from Patrick's new opera
BYRON IN GREECE, performed in London in late March, 2005, additional arias
from this work in progress will performed in the fall, probably including "Sappho's Song", "Nauplia Serenata", "Mistra in the Morea' and "Byron at
Sounion". The libretto and full opera are scheduled for completion in 2007.
This is a tragic opera in three acts taking place in Greece and London
between 1823-24 during the Greek fight for independence, when Byron aided
the Palikars, independence fighters with personal bravery and his own
wealth, having long championed the cause of preserving even Greek
antiquities in his earlier epic poem "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage," and
culminating in his fevered death at Missolonghi.
