Opéra-Comique

Rediscover the epic tale of Orpheus and Eurydice in Monteverdi's ageless L'Orfeo—the oldest opera still performed today! In a stark and refined mise en scène, featuring gorgeous costumes by Bernadette Villard and striking lighting design by Pascal Noël, the excellent soloists more than do justice to this monument of the operatic repertoire—under the direction of the great Jordi Savall, who has done more to popularize early music and the work of Monteverdi than perhaps anyone else alive.

Over the course of this enchanting drama, it is La Musique herself who first greets the public (the marvelous Luciana Mancini, who also plays the role of Eurydice). The plot follows its irrevocable course: soon after marrying Orpheus (the celebrated Marc Mauillon), the beautiful dryad Eurydice falls victim to a fatal snake bite. Despair overwhelms Orpheus's fellow shepherds, but he refuses to abandon hope, and—guided by Espérance (Hope)—takes up the route toward Hell in search of his betrothed. Pluto, god of the underworld, agrees to allow her to ascend back to the mortal plane—under one condition: on their journey back, Orpheus must not look back at Eurydice. Tragically, he yields to the temptation to turn around, and Eurydice is lost forever to the underworld. Orpheus, devastated, is comforted by Apollo, god of the arts, leaving us with a clear message: in difficult times, art and hope are steadfast allies that one must always keep close.

The decision to produce this opera in June 2021 was not without significance for the opera stage and the performers. In the words of Agnès Terrier, dramaturge at the Opéra-Comique, "After 15 months of pandemic hell, with all our artists guided by La Musica, let us bring light back into the theatre!"

Meeting with the conductor of L'Orfeo, Jordi Savall Summary: To find Eurydice, who disappeared on their wedding day, the singer Orpheus sets out to seduce the Underworld with his divine art. It's her complaints that convince Pluto to free Eurydice – on terms. At the end of the ordeal, the master of harmony turns out to be a fallible figure, deeply human, whom Monteverdi knew how to nourish with his sensitivity. Musical direction Jordi Savall | Directed by Pauline Bayle With Luciana Mancini, Marc Mauillon, Sara Mingardo, Marianne Beate Kielland, Furio Zanasi, Salvo Vitale La Capella Reial de Catalunya Choir | Orchester Le Concert des Nations This show will be captured by Fra Prod and recorded by Radio France then broadcast live on Mezzo on June 10 at 8 p.m. and on France Musique on July 3 at 8 p.m.

It is exceptional to be able to date the birth of an art. This is however the case for opera. On February 24, 1607 in Mantua, the creation of L'Orfeo by Striggio and Monteverdi gave an unprecedented form to the encounter between theater and music. The new expressiveness of the recitar cantando was combined there with the varied forms of the court spectacle, in an equal mastery of the whole and of the detail.

The work was both a synthesis and a prototype. Its success led to other performances, its distribution, other commissions... Three decades later, in Venice, Monteverdi presided over the advent of opera, which had become an economic and cultural phenomenon. The character of Orpheus illustrates this transition. After Alcione in 2017, we find Jordi Savall and go back to the sources with the Concert des Nations. Around Marc Mauillon, Pauline Bayle revives this inaugural, interior and universal drama.
