Background: Highly prolific, Daniel Börtz’s main achievements have been in the genres of the symphony and music drama, exhibiting his highly individual language and his virtuosic treatment of the symphony orchestra. Almost twenty years ago, in collaboration with Ingmar Bergman, Börtz created the opera Backanterna (The Bacchae) based on the play by Euripides. He then came across an abbreviated version of the Oresteia and decided to make it the basis for an oratorio.

The resulting work, Hans namn var Orestes (His name was Orestes), had its première in 2004. It is composed for narrator, vocal soloists, choir and large orchestra, and tells the tragic and bloody tale of the house of Atreus, in which every crime gives birth to a new crime, and revenge follows upon revenge.
