Cleopatra and her mysterious death, rumoured to be suicide with the aid of a cobra, has been the source for many musical and literary works over the years. The libretto for Shchedrin's new work is inspired by Shakespeare's Anthony and Cleopatra and a Russian translation of the final scene created by Boris Pasternak provides the text for the dramatic scene in which the audience experience the moments before the ruler's death. Describing his work the composer writes: The final scene from Shakespeare's tragedy provides a lot of very fruitful material for a composer. The conflict of life, death, love and the drug of power are the reasons for the fatal decision of the legendary beauty - the Egyptian Queen. (Rodion Shchedrin)
