Christoph
Willibald Gluck’s
most popular opera
“Orphe et
Euridice†was
performed in 1774 in
Paris to sensational
success. This new
adaption followed the
original Viennese version
with Italian text that
was first performed in
1762 under the direction
of the composer in the
Burgtheater. For the
Paris version Gluck
changed the leading part
Orpheus from an alto to a
tenor role and composed
new recitatives.
Both versions of
Gluck’s reform
drama are based on a
libretto by Ranieri
de’ Calzabigi and
revolutionised
metastasian opera of the
18th century. Solo and
choral music,
instrumental music,
pantomime and dance are
all closely connected;
the myth replaces a
historical plot
surrounded by intrigue;
where there would have
been a da-capo aria there
are now simple song forms
and coloratura is largely
abandoned. These
meticulously revised
vocal scores of both
versions are also newly
set.
