- Summary:
- Twentieth century adaptation of Cherubini's tragic opera. Medea, the notorious sorceress figure from Greek mythology, has given everything for Jason, committing fearful crimes to win him the Golden Fleece. Jason repays her by leaving her in favour of the younger and gentler Dirce. Medea's revenge is fearsome, murdering her own two sons by Jason and causing Dirce to be consumed in flames at her wedding.
