The iconic aria J’ai perdu mon Eurydice from Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice is etched into the collective memory. In his powerful music drama, the composer proves himself a master of controlled emotion. Gluck bids farewell to the bravura arias and complex plot twists of Baroque opera. OBV presents Hector Berlioz’s 1859 adaptation, which is anything but a mere copy of the original, but full-blooded French opera with additional music. Maestro Francesco Corti, who staged a fiery Don Giovanni last season, once again guarantees thrilling music drama on the razor's edge.
As a Friend of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, you are cordially invited to attend a rehearsal of this concertante opera, preceded by an introduction from an expert on the subject.
