Description
An opera in nine scenes, Arion and the Dolphin is an enthralling libretto by
Vikram Seth, set to music composed by Alec Roth. It tells the tale of Arion,
a young musician at the court of Periander in Corinth. Thrown overboard on
his return from a musical contest in Sicily, Arion is saved and befriended by a
dolphin, but their sublime friendship ends in tragedy.
Written for amateurs and professionals, this libretto is a marvellous story that
shimmers with Seth’s singular erudition, charm and poetic imagination.
