Speaking Truth to Power is an online performance of Beethoven’s Egmont, Op. 84 featuring the world premiere of a new Orpheus-commissioned English translation, adapted for the current day, by Philip Boehm. The concert is narrated by actor Liev Schreiber with the soprano part sung by Karen Slack. Speaking Truth to Power marks the first time that Orpheus has performed together as a full chamber orchestra since January 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The concert was programmed as the orchestra’s season opening performance at Carnegie Hall, and has now transitioned to a pre-recorded virtual performance to ensure that the new Egmont translation could be shared with an even larger worldwide audience.
