Description:

Monteverdiâ??s Lâ??Orfeo was premiered in 1607 and is the oldest opera still performed today. The narrative is based on the Greek legend of Orpheus who, armed only with the weapons of music and love, descends into Hades in an attempt to bring his lost bride Eurydice back to the living world. The operaâ??s dramatic power is brought to life in this acclaimed production conducted by the great Monteverdi expert and interpreter Jordi Savall. Filmed at the OpÃ©ra Comique in Paris Lâ??Orfeo features a virtuoso cast with the service of text and music always at its core. Claudio Monteverdi (1567â??1643) Lâ??Orfeo Favola in musica in five acts and a prologue Libretto by Alessandro Striggio Luciana Mancini, Marianne Beate Kielland, Mezzo-sopranos Sara Mingardo, Contralto â?¢ Salvo Vitale, Bass Marc Mauillon, Furio Zanasi, Baritones La Capella Reial de Catalunya â?¢ Le Concert des Nations Jordi Savall, Conductor â?¢ Pauline Bayle, Stage director -

Jordi Savall is painting Monteverdi in the colours of the Mediterranean. The Catalan maestro has entrusted the title role of this foundational work of Western music to a remarkable baritone: the magnificent Marc Mauillon embodies Orfeo, his resonant and ductile voice in perfect unison with the conductor's musical vision. Here, a warm performance and rich sound reign supreme!
