К. Монтеверди Oрфей Театр Ла Фениче, 2017 г. - C. Monteverdi Orfeo Teatro la Fenice, 2017

From Teatro La Fenice, Venice 2017 L’Orfeo Favola in Musica with prologue and five acts Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, composed within the first decade of opera’s history, stands as the genre’s earliest great masterpiece. Premiered on February 24, 1607, at the ducal palace in Mantua, it showcased Monteverdi’s revolutionary genius in both dramatic and musical innovation. The story follows Orfeo’s descent into Hades to retrieve his beloved Eurydice, exploring themes of love, loss, and the power of music. With its unprecedented structure and expressive storytelling, L’Orfeo remains a landmark in the history of opera. In this performance, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, with his virtuoso conducting and a cast of talented opera performers, masterfully revives the unique blend of musical forms and the emotional depth of Monteverdi’s melodies. Gardiner’s interpretation brings out the opera’s timeless enduring power and brilliance. 0:00:00 Intro 0:01:32 Prologue 0:10:08 Act I 0:24:49 Act II 0:45:53 Act III 1:21:07 Act VI 1:37:56 Act V Music by Claudio Monteverdi Libretto by Alessandro Striggio Krystian Adam – Orfeo Hana Blažíková – Euridice/La Musica Lucile Richardot – Messaggera Francesca Boncompagni – Proserpina Gianluca Buratto – Caronte/Plutone Kangmin Justin Kim – Speranza Furio Zanasi – Apollo Francisco Fernandez Rueda – Pastore I Gareth Traseder – Pastore II/Spirito I/Echo Michal Czerniawski – Pastore III John Taylor Ward – Pastore VI/Spirito III Zachary Wilder – Spirito II Anna Dennis – Ninfa Sir John Eliot Gardiner – Musical Director Sir John Eliot Gardiner & Elsa Rooke – Directing & Staging Monteverdi Choir Amy Carlson, Angela Hicks, Alison Hill, Eleanor Meynell, Charlotte Ashley, Angharad Rowlands – Sopranos Rory McCleery, Tim Morgan, Simon Ponsford, Richard Wilberforce, Mathew Venner – Countertenors Hugo Hymas, Graham Neal – Tenors Daniel D’Souza, Samuel Evans, Ben Kazez, Lawrence Wallington – Basses English Baroque Soloists Antonio Greco, Paolo Zanzu – Harpsichords & Musical assistants Kati Debretzeni – Violin I Iona Davies, Henry Tong, Olivier Webber, Anne Schumann, Henrietta Wayne, Davina Clarke – Violins II Fanny Paccoud, Lisa Cochrane, Małgorzata Ziemkiewicz, Aliye Cornish – Violas Marco Frezzato – Cello Valerie Botwright – Contrabass Kinga Gáborjáni – Lirone David Miller, Alex McCartney, Eligio Luis Quinteiro, Josías Rodríguez Gándara – Chitarrone & Lutes Györgyi Farkas – Doulcian Kinga Gáborjáni – Lirone Rachel Beckett, Catherine Latham – Flutes Frithjof Smith, Richard Thomas, Darren Moore – Cornets Adam Woolfe, Miguel Tantos Sevillano, Martyn Sanders, Abigail Newman, Stephen Saunders – Sackbut Gwyneth Wentink – Harp Sébastien Glas – Video Director © 2017, Ozango
