L'Orfeo

The power of song can move us deeply. But can music and song also change our destiny and bring the dead back to life? That is the question posed in Monteverdi’s 400-year-old yet still very timely opera.
 
The musician Orfeo loses his beloved Euridice and ventures into the underworld to retrieve her from the dead through song. The myths of ancient Greece have been the source of many operas, and the fateful story of Orfeo has especially struck the artistic veins of many a composer.

Monteverdi’s dynamic melodies and powerful timbre in L’Orfeo are so timeless that it seems unreal that the opera is four centuries old. The music feels eternal in the company of Jetske Mijnssen’s impelling staging, which a reviewer in 2020 described as “hypnotically beautiful.” The performance deals with the healing processing of loss and grief, employing a simple stage set and with dreamlike choreography.

Concerto Copenhagen with its renowned conductor, Baroque music virtuoso Lars Ulrik Mortensen, has for 30 years been a pioneer of Danish music, staging early music performances of unusually high standard. In 2022, Concerto Copenhagen was further honoured as P2 Artist of the year.

The young vocal team consists of strong ensemble and guest soloists led by the highly accomplished French singer, Marc Mauillon, in the title role as Orfeo.
