With breathtaking music and colorful orchestration, Gluck’s revolutionary setting of this iconic story of love and loss influenced opera composers from Mozart to Wagner. Owen Willetts, Orfeo Semi-staged and sung in the original Italian version with English supertitles. “This superb production is cause for celebration.... Martin Pearlman leads his Boston Baroque and its excellent chorus in a fluid, beautifully theatrical performance.” “Pearlman is a Gluckian through and through.”
