L'Orfeo -  (Orfeus)

Venedig

John Eliot Gardiner with the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloist celebrate the 450th birthday of the 17th-century genius and founding father of opera.
There is little doubt that the novelty of his works transcended the art of his ancestors, ushering in a new era in music. Always fascinated by human passions, Monteverdi devoted his life to developing techniques to translate them into music. As such, he can be directly compared to the greatest artists and scientists of the early 17th century, such as Galileo, Bacon, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Caravaggio and Rubens.
The top-class ensemble consists of internationally recognized soloists as well as members of the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists. The three great Monteverdi operas will be performed under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner and staged in semi-concert by Elsa Rooke. The orchestra, which uses historical instruments from Monteverdi's time, plays a central role as it is placed on the stage and integrated into the action.
The highlight of this international tour, which runs from April to October 2017, are performances at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, as well as at the Salzburg Festival, the Berlin Festival and the Lucerne Festival.

Contents:
Arcadian landscape. Shepherds and nymphs greet the day. Orpheus and Eurydice, happy in their love, join in the song. The shepherds and nymphs listen to the song of Orpheus, which tells of the fulfillment of his love. But a messenger reports a serious fate to the singer: death snatched his beloved from him. In the underworld, moved by the missing songs of Orpheus, the death guard opens the gate to the underworld and Eurydice is allowed to follow her husband if he finds the way to the land of light. However, if he looks around for his beloved, she has to go back into the shadows. The two are already approaching the sunlight when Orpheus, tormented by doubts, stops on the threshold of the underworld. Anxious, he turns to Eurydice, who is now forever banished to the realm of silence.
