See the full album descriptionThe Handmaid's Tale
The Handmaid's Tale is based on one of the most exciting and disturbing novels of modern times, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. The Handmaid's Tale is a grim futuristic story of a fundamentalist, misogynist society where few people are fertile, and a story of love, power and escape from an extremist right-wing regime. The libretto was adapted from the novel and translated into Danish by Poul Ruders. The opera was composed for a large orchestra and organ, with a full opera chorus.
The Handmaid's Tale has been recorded in collaboration with the Danish Broadcasting Corporation and the Royal Danish Theater in Copenhagen. This is the first time ever that the institutions have cooperated in this way. The Handmaid's Tale was recorded live at a series of evening performances in the spring of 2000.***** CD of the Week, The Guardian · 10/10 Classics Today · 2 Grammy nominations
“The music is a triumph of stylistic pluralism”, The New York Times · “The score does a brilliant job of reinforcing the darkness and intensity of this bleak vision of the future”, BBC Music Magazine
