ORPHEUS & EURYDICE: BERLIOZ VERSION OF GLUCK’S MASTERPIECE

Opera Atelier’s 2014-2015 season continues with the Berlioz version of Gluck’s Orpheus and Eurydice (April 9-18, 2015), a timeless love story based on the Greek myth.

Our complete performance schedule for Orpheus and Eurydice is:

Thursday, Apr. 9, 7:30
Saturday, Apr. 11, 7:30
Sunday Apr. 12, 3:00
Tuesday, Apr. 14, 7:30
Friday, Apr. 17, 7:30
Saturday, Apr. 18, 4:30

An expert in Gluck’s work and a revered composer in his own right, Hector Berlioz drew from the earlier Italian and French incarnations of the opera in creating this 1859 version in which the role of Orpheus is scored for a female contralto.

Opera Atelier is proud that Tafelmusik has agreed to be part of this groundbreaking project, which marks the orchestra’s furthest foray into 19th century orchestration.

Orpheus and Eurydice will star Canadian mezzo-soprano Mireille Lebel as Orpheus – her first major role for Opera Atelier. The production will also feature Opera Atelier favourite Peggy Kriha Dye as Eurydice and Meghan Lindsay as Amour. Orpheus and Eurydice is sung in French with English surtitles.
