Arion and the Dolphin, an opera in nine scenes, is an enchanting libretto by Vikram Seth, set to music composed by Alec Roth. It tells the tale of Arion, a young musician at the court of Periander in Corinth. Thrown overboard on his return from a musical contest in Sicily, Arion is saved and befriended by a dolphin. Written for amateurs and professionals, this is a marvellous story that shimmers with Seth’s inimitable charm and wit.
