Orfeo ed Euridice Gluck

Poet and musician, Orpheus knew by the accents of his lyre how to charm wild animals and succeeded in moving inanimate beings. After the death of Eurydice, He succeeds in forcing the passage of the Underworld by the sound of his voice to bring her back to the world of the living, but violates the prohibition made by Pluto to turn to her and look at her, causing the return. irremediable from his beloved in the Underworld.

Strength and fragility.
Orpheus alone symbolizes the power of Music and the importance of Art; it represents for any artist the inspiration and the creative faculty of the human being, his ability to transcend reality to make it more beautiful. It is in a way the archetype of our human condition, which makes us capable of accomplishing wonders but also of being reduced to nothing by doubt.
It is therefore not by chance that many composers have proposed their version of this myth, insisting on this mixture of strength and weakness of a character in which it is then easy for us to identify ourselves.

In 1774, the German composer Christoph Willibald Gluck presented in Paris a reworked version of his work created in Vienna a few years earlier, translated into French and embellished with numerous ballets.
It is this version that we have chosen, featuring the three characters of Orpheus, Eurydice and Love, which pulls the strings and guides the hero on a journey strewn with pitfalls.
But there is a fourth character whose importance is capital: it is the choir, which, as in Greek tragedies, is the interlocutor - accomplice or adversary - of Orpheus, but also the commentator of his moods.

Orphée et Eurydice is an opportunity to continue our collaboration with the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris as well as with the amateur choirs of Yvelines, under the impetus of the Théâtre de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, to propose a participatory project where will meet experienced professionals, young professionals and amateurs. Together, we will create our own version of this inspiring work, one of the most famous of the 18th century opera repertoire, whose questioning of the limits and aspirations of Man and Woman speaks to all of us. .
True revolution in the musical language of his time, Orpheus and Eurydice, by his research on expressive simplicity and the intensity of his writing will influence Romanticism.
It is no coincidence that the aria of Orpheus: "I lost my Eurydice", remains today one of the "hits" of the opera repertoire, sung on all stages of the world by greatest performers.
