“Argos Sidiros” (Crude Iron) is a contemporary opera by Cypriot composer Andys Skordis based on Sofronis Sofroniou’s novel. Through a series of striking episodes, visual components, narration and lyrical singing, the opera takes the spectator on a delirious journey spun in the vertigo of memory, death and time. The opera has a duration of 90 minutes and it is presented by eight opera singers, one actor/narrator, orchestra and choir.
