Exploring
dance as a vital element within music theatre, this opera centres around
the conflicting feelings arising from the unusual means of succession
in the Grove of Nemi in Ancient Rome. The priest of the Goddess Diana,
who is also her lover, can only be succeeded by the man who kills him.
Amid the sadness of loss, the goddess looks forward to a new disciple
- ands waits to knwo whether it will be the Slave or the Youth.
