Et nyt operakoncept med musik af komponist Line Tjørnhøj har festmåltidet som omdrejningspunkt.
Komponist Line Tjørnhøj inviterer med spiseoperaen AGONY publikum til en musikalsk såvel som kulinarisk oplevelse, hvor dramaturgien følger festmåltidets rytme. Alle sanser bliver taget i brug – også smagsløgene – når serveringen inkorporeres i operaen. Et familiedrama udspiller sig med patriarken Il Padre for bordenden, og librettoen er centreret omkring den yngre generations opgør med patriarkatet.
Kok og madstylist Michelle Appelros har komponeret menuens fem retter. Hun bruger også køkkenredskaberne som instrumenter. I AGONY er det lyden i køkkenet, af måltidet og os mennesker, der skaber det musikalske univers.
Der synges på Italiensk, svensk, tysk, engelsk og arabisk, og alt er tekstet på engelsk.
