Harrison Birtwistle's reworking of an ancient myth had its premiere at the Royal Opera House in 2008. The opera's dark beauty shows one of our leading composers at the height of his powers. Most recent performance. There are currently no scheduled performances of The Minotaur. It was last on stage 17–28 January 2013 as part of the Autumn 2012/13 season. Harrison Birtwistle's reading of this ancient Greek myth focuses on the troubled inner world of the Minotaur, and his longing to discover his true identity and voice. Poet David Harsent provides a libretto of lyrical intensity, continuing a rich, creative partnership with Birtwistle – the pair have worked on a number of operas together, including Gawain, which was also commissioned by The Royal Opera and first performed here in 1991. The Minotaur brings a raw and visceral dramatic world to the stage.

Harrison Birtwistle: Gawain. Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Copenhagen. Baritone (Vocal), Primary Artist. Royal Opera House Covent Garden Chorus.

Elgar Howarth, the composer's close friend and colleague, directed the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus. The principals, all superb, are Francois Le Roux (baritone) as the knight Gawain, Marie Angel (soprano) as Morgan le Fay, Anne Howells (mezzo soprano) as Lady de Hautdesert, and John Tomlinson (bass baritone) as the Green Knight and as the nobleman Bertilak de Hautdesert. Gawain" is much less ambitious than The Mask of Orpheus, and much more successful, at least as an audio recording (I have not seen either on the stage).

The Royal Opera House (ROH) is an opera house and major performing arts venue in Covent Garden, central London. The large building is often referred to as simply "Covent Garden", after a previous use of the site of the opera house's original construction in 1732. It is the home of The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Originally called the Theatre Royal, it served primarily as a playhouse for the first hundred years of its history
