Marcus Davey, Chief Executive and Artistic Director of the Roundhouse, and Kasper Holten, Director of The Royal Opera, introduce Michael Boyd's production of Monteverdi's Orfeo. The production marks a new collaboration between the Roundhouse and the Royal Opera, and will include a number of projects involving young and emerging artists.

The project is a new collaboration between the Roundhouse and The Royal Opera. 

The history of great opera begins with the premiere of Claudio Monteverdi's Orfeo on 24 February 1607 in the ducal palace in Mantua. It was Monteverdi's first opera, produced as courtly entertainment for the carnival season. For this 'favola in musica' (story in music) he incorporated existing musical forms, such as madrigals and the newly developed recitative (singing with speech-like rhythms and minimal accompaniment). But the result was revolutionary, possessing a powerful emotional truth that had never been seen before in musical dramas. Orfeo is rightly acclaimed as the first operatic work of art.

A new collaboration between the Roundhouse and The Royal Opera, Orfeo follows on from L'Ormindo at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare's Globe, in spring 2014. Former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Michael Boyd directs in his operatic debut, with a production that is as much theatrical spectacle as tribute to Monteverdi's musical genius.
