Upbeat: Coda

DON'T say you weren't warned: 'The content of this production,' writes Opera Factory about its forthcoming premiere of Xenakis's The Bacchae at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, 'will probably not be suitable for children - there may be some disturbing, violent scenes and there might also be some nudity.' Might, eh? Come to think of it, the music of Xenakis usually shows a pretty healthy nakedness too. And it has been known to excite people.
