The ancient Greek tragedian Sophocles
was also a war general who knew first-hand
the devastating psychological traumas that
imperilled returning veterans. With Hercules –
Handel’s take on Sophocles’ play – Sellars
creates a healing work in which the untold
horrors of war and the unspoken complications
of reunion find their voice.
