A excerpt of the live recording of 2008's production of The Bacchae. Pentheus has just placed a foreigner under arrest - not realising that he is in fact imprisoning the god Dionysus. The chorus foreshadows Pentheus' punishment for his sacrilege, while Dionysus sets in motion a series of events that will lead to Pentheus' downfall. Dionysus summons an earthquake and frees himself from prison, and then gives Pentheus one last chance to avoid his fate.
