"Opera in which Orfeo of Greek myth follows his beloved wife to Hades."
"The grieving musician of Greek myth follows his beloved wife to the depths of Hades in an attempt to bring her back from the dead. The opera is preceded by a synopsis presented by Dame Judith Baker."
"Director and choreographer Mark Morris's production of Gluck's masterpiece updates the immortal story from its ancient Greek roots to the timeless present, where, he says, "the union of chorus and dancers feels inevitable and inseparable." With costumes by Isaac Mizrahi and a set designed by Allen Moyer, this production surrounds the action with the superb Met chorus dressed as a crowd of historic characters who bear witness to the transformative power of love. Orfeo (Stephanie Blythe) is so consumed with grief at the death of his beloved Euridice (Danielle de Niese) that the gods (Heidi Grant Murphy as Amor) allow him to lead her back from the underworld--if he will not look at her on the way. Of course he can't resist looking, but the gods are truly merciful."
"In this updated version of the Greek myth, Orfeo, dressed in a leather jacket, trainers and jeans, sees his Eurdice die in a street accident. Succumbing to depression, he languishes in Hades, a psychiatric hospital, before taking his electric guitar to charm the beasts in an innercity concrete jungle."
"Deux jeunes amoureux assistent à un concert. La fille, Eurydice, meurt dans un accident. Le jeune homme, Orfeo, vêtu de jeans et d'un veston de cuir, tente avec sa guitare de pacifier les Furies qui incarnent le pouvoir de la mort. L'Amour a promis à Orfeo le retour d'Eurydice s'il réussit à ne pas la regarder quand ils reviendront sur la terre. Orfeo rêve, souffre, est "malade", se dédouble en artiste. Il rencontre Eurydice et son amour est si grand qu'il ne peut détourner d'elle son regard et la perd de nouveau à tout jamais. L'Amour ressuscite Orfeo, l'artiste, et le conduit à Eurydice devenue une figure de l'art. Ensemble, ils chantent l'amour et leur désir d'un monde qui le servirait dans la beauté. C'est une mise en scène surréaliste et saisissante de l'oeuvre."
