Gripping production of this extraordinary opera
This is not an opera for the faint of heart: the story-line is brutal and the staging confrontational.

Pretty good...
This disc gets five stars because I love the fact that Birtwistle's new opera is available to watch, and I think that anyone at all interested in contemporary opera should see this.

all that difficult music
I had a hard time getting through MINOTAUR in one sitting even after educating myself with everything I could read on the Internet about the subject matter, music and composer.

Brilliant operatic imagining of the dark, powerful myth
Harrison Birtwistle's latest opera, THE MINOTAUR, is powerful and effective.

The man within the beast
As a piece of theater Minotaur is quite gripping.
