Orfeo ed Euridice -  (Orfeu e Eurídice)

During lockdown in early 2021, Opera North recorded Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice for broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Unable to perform live for audiences during Covid-19 restrictions, the Company’s musicians opened the recording process to a camera team instead. The result is a unique glimpse of the enduring passion and artistry of music-making, behind the closed doors of Leeds Town Hall.

Unable to live without his dead wife Euridice, Orfeo journeys to the underworld on a quest to return her to the land of the living. There is one condition: he must not look back as she follows him home, or he will lose her for all eternity.

Gluck’s music pierces straight to the heart throughout: in the terror of Orfeo’s encounter with the Furies; in the tenderness of the pastoral scenes; and, above all, in Orfeo’s great lament for his lost love, ‘Che farò senza Euridice?’ (‘What is life without Euridice?’).

Irish mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy sings the role of Orfeo, with Fflur Wyn as Euridice and Daisy Brown as Amore. Early music specialist Laurence Cummings conducts this recording of a work of unique grace and power.
