The narrative masterpiece of English literature Enoch Arden is a journey through life and emotional coming-of-age—an unusual love story that retells the myth of Odysseus through a different lens. Tennyson’s poem inspired Richard Strauss to compose a singular musical work for narrator and piano, a form of melodrama in which the piano vividly “comments on” the unfolding narrative of this emotionally charged text. Beloved actor Konstantinos Markoulakis, ever inventive, evocative, and compelling across the full range of his roles, is joined by Giorgos Konstantinou, one of Greece’s most vibrant and inquisitive pianists, known for placing his unequivocal expressive and virtuosic gifts at the service of both familiar and lesser-known works—pieces that deserve to be discovered and cherished.
