The Minotaur (opera) The Minotaur (opera) 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. 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. The opera was revived at the Royal
Valley of the Minotaur the Minotaur', which was finished, but not published. The writing and concepts were heavily influenced by popular text based exploration games of the day, including 'Microsoft's Adventure', 'Zork I' and 'II', as well as the maps from 'Wizardry'. Other influences in the writing of 'Valley of the Minotaur' were Dungeons & Dragons, and some of the props from Doctor Who; specifically the telephone booth which appears in the game is a reference to the TARDIS. 3. http://giganticjet.blogspot.com/2013/11/wiki-stub-for-game-valley-of-minotaur.html Valley of the Minotaur Valley of the Minotaur is a computer game for the Apple II, Commodore 64, Commodore PET, VIC-20 home computers.
