Orpheus and Eurydice by Christoph Willibald Gluck
Grand Théâtre de Québec
Opera in 3 actsMusic: Christoph Willibald GluckLibretto: Ranieri de’ CalzabigiWith Orpheus and Eurydice, Gluck gives opera one of its purest forms. Through this story of love beyond death, the work speaks of absence, doubt, the fear of losing a loved one, but also of the power of art in the face of what escapes us.This grand production of Gluck's masterpiece is by the great Canadian director Robert Carsen, whose vision powerfully illuminates the simplicity and depth of the work. It also marks the return to the Opéra de Québec of conductor Bernard Labadie, invited to share his passion for this rare repertoire. The role of Orpheus will be performed by the great contralto Rose Naggar-Tremblay, who makes her debut in this role. An exceptional encounter between an essential work, a remarkable performer, and top-tier artists.A production of the Opéra de QuébecCREDITSMusic: Christoph Willibald GluckLibretto: Ranieri de' Calzabigi (based on the Greek myth of Orpheus)Musical Direction: Bernard LabadieWith an exceptional cast:Rose Naggar-Tremblay, contralto – OrpheusAnna-Sophie Neher, soprano – EurydiceNatasha Henry, soprano – AmorChoeur de l'Opéra de QuébecOrchestre symphonique de QuébecMusical Direction: Bernard LabadieStaging: Robert CarsenAssistant Staging: Christophe Gayral, Marilyn GronsdalLighting Design: Robert Carsen, Peter Van PraetLighting Assistance: Mikael Kangas
