Troilus and Cressida

Album by William Walton & Judith Howarth & Yvonne Howard & Arthur Davies & Nigel Robson & Clive Bayley & Chorus of Opera North & Orchestra of Opera North & Richard Hickox

Troilus and Cressida is an opera in three acts by English composer William Walton, first performed in 1954. The score combines lyrical orchestration, neo-Romantic vocal writing and elements of mid-20th-century modernism, and the work stands as Walton's principal operatic contribution, reflecting his engagement with large-scale dramatic composition during the postwar period.
