Orphée et Eurydice (2003)
Directed by Nigel Lowery, Amir Hosseinpour, Felix Breisach
Music · 2h 22m
Live from Munich, October 2003. A husband laments the death of his wife. He follows her to the underworld and finds her there. But he is forbidden to look at her. He does it anyway! Has he now lost her forever? Or will the gods' hearts be moved by this loving, "human" glance? In 1762, Gluck put the quietus on the artificiality of baroque opera with this work - from then on the human element took center stage.
