Power; cataclysm; vengeance.
Aurora opens its 2012 season at Wigmore Hall alongside two of the world’s great recitalists, Angelika Kirchschlager and Ian Bostridge. Britten’s late masterpiece Phaedra charts a course from forbidden obsession to crime, tragedy and death; Satie’s ethereal Socrate recounts the final hours of the great Athenian philosopher who challenged the state once too often.
