Orpheus
Lucie Skeaping presents a profile of Gluck's magnum opus, Orpheus ed Eurydice. The Age of Enlightenment was concerned with the natural, the rational and the human, and Gluck was very much part of that world, striving for what he called 'a beautiful simplicity'.
First performed in Vienna in 1762, this work is one of the most influential operas of all time, and along with librettist Calzabigi and choreographer Angiolini, Gluck created a whole new world on the opera stage. Recordings include performances by Janet Baker, James Bowman, Derek Lee Ragin and Bernarda Fink.
