Description

In the glittering court of Antioch, a young prince from the island city of Tyre arrives, drawn by the legend of a radiant princess whose beauty is said to rival the heavens. The king, Antiochus, warns him of the perilous allure that has claimed many suitors, yet the prince’s heart burns with a desire to win her love and prove his valor.

Undeterred, Pericles sets sail, embarking on a series of voyages that will test his courage against treacherous seas, hostile lands, and the capricious whims of fate. Along the way he encounters strangers, storms, and a destiny that intertwines love with loss, forcing him to confront the fragile line between glory and tragedy.

Listeners will be carried through a tapestry of ancient myth and human longing, hearing the chorus of Gower recount timeless themes of ambition, loyalty, and the search for meaning beyond the horizon. The story invites you to feel the pulse of a hero whose journey is as much inward as it is across the seas.
