Michael Hersch: Medea [CD]

Composer Michael Hersch adapts the tragedy of Medea from Ovid's Metamorphoses in his new opera for soprano Sarah Maria Sun, the vocal ensemble Schola Heidelberg, and Ensemble Musikfabrik. With librettist Stephanie Fleischmann. Hersch's setting underscores the profound psychological trauma at the heart of the tale with a characteristically powerful, bracing score.
