Cecilia Bartoli | Mélissa Petit | Il Canto di Orfeo | Les Musiciens du Prince (Monaco) | Gianluca Capuano
Gluck's opera Orfeo ed Euridice set the opera world of the 18th century abuzz. Suddenly the music served the plot and not the other way around. Gluck put an end to overloaded coloraturas and endless da capo arias that interrupted the dramatic flow. The last French queen Marie Antoniette, an ardent admirer of his music, wrote: "It is as if a religious revolution had taken place." At the center of the plot is the grieving Orpheus, who mourns Eurydice, who has died as a result of a fatal snakebite. Cupid allows him to rescue her from the underworld - on condition that he does not look at her on his way back. Orpheus conquers the Furies with his song. But Eurydice's lamentations make him weak: He looks at her and she dies. Cupid finally redeems the couple. Cecilia Bartoli, the prima donna assoluta of the 21st century, has chosen the so-called "Parma version" with her ensemble. At the performance in Parma, the famous soprano castrato Giuseppe Millico took on the role of Orpheus. He sang in an extremely high register, which is almost unattainable for today's male voices.
