# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Death of Gesualdo - Edinburgh International Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Outstanding vocal ensemble The Gesualdo Six explores the chilling music and life story of composer Carlo Gesualdo in a multi-media concert piece.

What do we do with the art of monstrous people? The 16th-century composer Carlo Gesualdo is infamous for murdering his wife and her lover, while also being remembered for his dissonant musical language.  

Director Bill Barclay has chosen some of Gesualdo’s darkest music, including Tenebrae (a mass for the composer’s own death), to create a fascinating but chilling portrait of the composer. The Gesualdo Six sing with ‘precision, pure tone and nuanced expression’ (The Guardian), joined by six actor-dancers to further illustrate the music through Renaissance iconography, puppetry and sinister tableaux vivants.  

Death of Gesualdo contrasts beauty and monstrosity in a completely unique experience.  According to a recent five-star review, 'the staging, the singing and acting are sublime' (The Times).
