An Opera in Three Acts-Adès’s third opera The Exterminating Angel premiered at the Salzburg Festival in July 2016. Based on Luis Buñuel’s surrealist classic El ángel exterminador the opera sees a collection of society’s grandees inexplicably trapped in a room. The libretto adapted from the original Buñuel-Alcoriza screenplay by the composer together with the director Tom Cairns brilliantly captures their descent into anarchy. Featuring a jaw-dropping 15 principals (who remain on stage for the majority of the piece) The Exterminating Angel is a true ensemble opera and the skill with which Adès delineates the many intricacies and undercurrents present over its densely-packed span (just under twohours plus interval) is breathtaking. Like the shipwrecked characters of The Tempest the cast of this new opera are held in a state of entrapment and dramatic stasis. Like the glittering high-society world of Powder Her Face the dinner party guests are denizens of a nightmarish world of aristocratic pretension.

Andrew Clements of the Guardian newspaper says 'Maw is a composer who has been at pains to remake connections with the late-romantic tradition and Odyssey is a convincing reassertion of its continuing relevance a demonstration that long-range harmonic thinking and thematic development can be still potent resources for the right composer. . .the five-part structure of the work holds together more eloquently than one could possibly imagine; at times the musical language is close to early Berg at others it recalls the English tradition of the same period. It is a tapestry of long-limbed melodies pregnant with thematic possiblities and often punctuated with timpani motifs magical horn solos suspended in space massive climaxes crowned by flaring trumpets lush minutely detailed string writing and intricate webs of woodwind tracery'
