Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus rex is widely acknowledged as
one of the most original music-theatre works of the twentieth
century. This clear and concise guide is the first ever to be
written on this work and it describes the music and its staging in
close detail. It offers the first proper explanation of the plot
and its relation to its literary sources and provides a fully
documented discussion of the origins of Oedipus rex in Stravinsky's
own work and thinking. By placing the work in its social context
Stephen Walsh paints a vivid picture of Parisian artistic politics
in the twenties from which emerges one of the richest and most
suggestive works of art of modern times.
