Dramaturgy Nine

Antigone itself has influenced other arts as well. There are several notable operas by Hasse (1743), Gluck (1756), Zingarelli (1790), Honegger (1927) and Orff (1949). (ORO, Antigone)
There was a one act Ballet with choreography by Cranko, this premiered in 1959 by the Royal Ballet in london. Other Antigone ballets; Gioia (Venice, 1790), G. Galzerani (Milan, 1825). (ORO, Antigone)


We can see the lasting influence of the story through out history and how it has affected other art forms. This again allows us to expand our view of the script and story and make the most effective show/story we can present.
