Impressed by Jean Cocteau’s reworking of Antigone, Stravinsky commissioned him to adapt Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex. The libretto assembles the tragedy’s pivotal scenes, rendered into Latin by Abbé Jean Daniélou. Stravinsky felt Latin, “engraved in stone,” remained timeless and immune to popular simplification.
