A major event recorded in Bologna. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Opting for the French-language version of Orpheus, David Alagna was faced with the task of achieving an appropriately subtle adaptation. In a plot transposed to the present day, Eurydice dies in a car accident on the day of her wedding and Orpheus's quest for his beloved is a dream beginning and ending at the cemetery. No happy ending in this interpretation, but a new approach to characterisation:Amore, sung by a baritone, becomes a funeral parlour employee and Orpheus' guide. Orpheus, of course, loses his loved one forever by turning to look back. World famous tenor Roberto Alagna throws himself body and soul into this production. His incredible vitality, flawless timbre and diction make him a great Orpheus. His partner, young Italian soprano Serena Gamberoni, is simply stunning as Eurydice, while French baritone Marc Barrard is suitably terrifying as the guide to the Underworld. The orchestra is conducted by Giampaolo Bisanti, who masterfully brings out all Gluck's poetry, romantic melancholy and depth.\u003cbr\u003e  A co-production with the Montpellier Opera.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"BelAir Classiques","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":49704393015576,"sku":"3760115300521","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1600249.jpg?v=1777720913","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/orphfe-et-eurydice","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
