At The Opera, Gluck: Orphee et Eurydice, August 16, 2014

  

Orphée et Eurydice is an opera composed by Christoph Willibald Gluck based on the myth of Orpheus, set to a libretto by Ranieri de' Calzabigi. It belongs to the genre of the azione teatrale, meaning an opera on a mythological subject with choruses and dancing.  The piece was first performed in Vienna on October 5, 1762. Orfeo ed Euridice is the first of Gluck's "reform" operas, in which he attempted to replace the abstruse plots and overly complex music of opera seria with a "noble simplicity" in both the music and the drama. This 1989 recording stars Anne Sofie von Otter and Barbara Hendricks. John Eliot Gardiner conducts.
