Based on the eternal Orpheus myth, this opera is about a love so strong that it reaches beyond the grave. Orfeo (Cecilia Molinari) is so consumed with grief at the death of his beloved Euridice (Mary Bevan) that the gods (Silvia Frigato as Amor) allow him to lead her back from the underworld—if he will not look at her on the way. Of course he can’t resist looking, but the gods are truly merciful. Ottavio Dantone conducts Gluck’s elegant score, a pinnacle of the Baroque repertoire.
