Œdipe is a four-act opera, based on the mythological tale of Oedipus. Enescu started sketching music for it back in 1910, after being inspired by Oedipus story. It was several years later when he managed to complete music and orchestration. Since the premiere, it has generally been considered to be his masterpiece.
