Gluck: Orphée et Eurydice (OAF4005D)<br /> <br /> David Hobson (Orphée ); Amanda Thane (Eurydice); Miriam Gormley; Australian Opera Chorus; Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra; Marco Guidarini<br /> <br /> The Greek legend of Orpheus has captured the imaginations of many creative artists over the centuries. In this adaptation Christoph Willibald Gluck transforms the original Italian opera into a refined French version.<br /> Following the death of his beloved wife, Eurydice, Orphée<br /> is given permission to descend into Hades to rescue her.<br /> He is warned that, if successful, he must not look at her<br /> until he has crossed to the world of the living.<br /> <br /> "One of the most extraordinary achievements of this remarkable production is how Richard Gill’s magnificently singing chorus and Meryl Tankard’s extraordinary actor-dancers seem to melt into one dynamic group." (The Australian)<br /> <br /> "This is a production of exceptional power and range." (The Financial Review)
