TRAILER | L'ORFEO Monteverdi - New Belgrade Opera / Madlenianum

Exactly 410 years ago, in the palace of Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, was performed the first opera of the great Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi, Orpheus. The last great master of the Renaissance madrigal and the first opera dramaturge of the Baroque epoch succeeded in achieving the perfect synthesis of text, music and stage drama by his Orpheus and enthroned it in the history of music as the first real example of the opera genre. This exciting musical drama describes the destiny of a mythical singer Orpheus, who by his singing and playing manages to touch all earthly and even divine beings. Orpheus has both the great powers and human weaknesses and feelings. He loves, he suffers and loses, passes through joys and despairs. “Orpheus” is at the same time the story about the spiritual journey of a man who, through his suffering and repentance finds true meaning and happiness in life as well as cognition of his place in the Universe.

This master peace will be for the first time presented in Belgrade and Serbia by the team of the New Belgrade Opera, in co-production with the Opera & Theatre Madlenianum on Saturday, November 18th, 2017 on the Large stage at 19.30. Vocal soloists from the country and abroad, with the instrumental ensemble on the period instruments of Monteverdi's time and directed by a German director Daniel Pfluger, will present their artworks after several months’ work with two of our renowned early music specialists, a contralto Marijana Mijanović and a conductor Predrag Gosta.
