“It’s odd, because I hear, ‘It’s wonderful, you say hello,”” Mouawad added.

When he approached the company’s technical crew to explain to them the story of “Oedipe,” a rarity from the 1930s based on the Greek myth, their reaction was similar, he said in an interview - few directors ever bothered to pay them much mind. Mouawad, 52, who runs the Théâtre National de la Colline in Paris, was taken aback to find the choristers had never received anything like it. He put together a glossary of all the obscure references in the libretto - like “the water of Castalia,” a sacred spring in Delphi - and sent it to the chorus.
