''The Minotaur'' is an opera in two acts, with 13 scenes by English composer Harrison Birtwistle to a libretto by poet David Harsent, commissioned by the Royal Opera House in London. The work, a retelling of the Greek myth of the Minotaur, premiered at the Royal Opera House on 15 April 2008〔(Loomis, George, "''The Minotaur'': A masterful retelling of a classic Greek myth", ''The New York Times'' (21 April 2008) )〕 and was shown on BBC2 television on 7 June 2008. The score is modernistic, and the scenes fall into three types: bullfights; scenes between Ariadne and Theseus; and dream sequences for the Minotaur, in which the creature has the gift of speech.〔 The opera lasts about 140 minutes, not counting the interval. The opera was revived at the Royal Opera House for five performances in early 2013, featuring most of the original cast, most notably Christine Rice, John Tomlinson, Andrew Watts and Johan Reuter. 〔(Royal Opera House Covent Garden – ''The Minotaur'' 2013 production ), Retrieved on 30 December 2012〕 ==Roles== Birtwistle wrote the title role for John Tomlinson's voice. Tomlinson also created the role of the Green Knight in Birtwistle's 1990 opera ''Gawain''.〔Emma Pomfret, (Sir John Tomlinson in Harrison Birtwistle's ''The Minotaur'': opera's raging bull ), ''The Times'', April 11, 2008.
