Description

Step into the world of "Cyclops: A Rock Opera," a thrilling theatrical experience of myth and music, inspired by the only surviving Satyr play in existence!

Set at the beginning of his ten year odyssey, legendary hero Odysseus arrives on a secluded island. But beware, for lurking in the island’s caves is the one-eyed Cyclops, a creature that forces Odysseus to reckon with what divides a hero from a monster. Populated by a band of goat-skinned Satyrs and fleet-footed Maenads, Odysseus finds in the depths of the Cyclops’ lair a place where the power of ancient mythology merges with the contemporary magic of rock music, a chamber where he must confront the legacy of the Trojan War, and in the unblinking gaze of Polyphemus, a dark reflection of his own violent spirit.

Featuring an original rock score by Jason Landon Marcus and a book by Chas LiBretto, the Pulitzer-nominated "Cyclops: A Rock Opera" weaves together elements of progressive rock, classical opera, and contemporary soundscapes to create a dynamic and Dionysian musical journey. Book your tickets now for "Cyclops: A Rock Opera," and let the magic of music transport you to a world where monsters are reborn and heroes are unmade.
