COVER: Iseult de Mallet Burgess, Fiona McAndrew and Beatrice de Mallet Burgess in ‘Médée’ performed by LOST & FOUND, taken from the final sections of the Ancient Greek tragedy ‘Medea’, Darius Milhaud’s (1892–1974) 1938 opera ‘Médée’ explores a woman’s psychological state as it shifts from the contemplation of marital infidelity to exacting revenge and, in a chilling climax to the slowly wrought catharsis, the murder of her two children.
