这是对特洛伊史诗传奇的重读。故事里有燃烧的城市祭坛、国王普里阿摩斯最后屠杀等等。歌剧也谈到了战争的必然性和战争的徒劳性。罗德尼马坎在剧中饰演主要角色，莎拉·沃克饰演赫克托的妻子，安德罗马奇饰演皮安姆，霍华德哈斯金饰演皮安姆的反叛儿子帕里斯，正是他与海伦-希腊斯巴达国王的妻子私奔，从而挑起特洛伊大战。尼古拉斯·希特纳的创新制作与大卫菲尔丁的舞台布景相匹配，形成鲜明的风格：最少的服装和色彩，近似木偶般行动，蒂皮特无畏的音乐。罗杰诺灵顿执导年轻的肯特歌剧院乐团演奏。

The re-telling of part of the original epic legend of Troy follows the Homeric characters through their love, loyalties and vengeance – leading to the final slaughter of King Priam at the altar of his burning city. The opera also speaks of the inevitability and futility of war.Rodney Macann heads a strong cast in the title role, giving a compelling performance as Priam, alongside Sarah Walker's moving portrayal of Hector's wife, Andromache. Howard Haskin plays Priam's rebellious son Paris, who elopes with Helen, wife of the Greek King of Sparta, thus instigating the great Trojan war.Nicholas Hytner's innovative production is matched by the starkly stylised setting designed by David Fielding, which creates a timeless arena of war. Minimal costume and colour, frozen action and white light further enhance Tippett's marvellously sparse music played with fearless conviction and driving impetus by the youthful Kent Opera Orchestra under the direction of Roger Norrington.
