Blending styles of gospel, opera, lovers rock and jazz, Medea Gosperia is a new musical experience that reimagines Euripides’ classic Greek tragedy set against a Caribbean backdrop.
The opera uses the islands’ original historical names, Becouya meaning ‘Island of the Clouds’ and Aloi meaning ‘Cashew Island’, as well as traditional dance styles, to showcase the region’s rich heritage through the show.
