Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice / Cecilia Bartoli

Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 20:00

Cecilia Bartoli (Mezzo-Soprano), Mélissa Petit (Soprano), Les Musiciens du Prince – Monaco, Il Canto di Orfeo (Vocal Ensemble), Gianluca Capuano (Conductor)

With a voice whose beauty, range and agility seem to know no bounds, Cecilia Bartoli is one of the undisputed world leaders in singing. She also has an almost magnetic stage presence and a charisma that not only thrills classical music fans. No wonder she enjoys a legendary reputation, especially on the opera stage. In addition to Bartoli’s stage career, the mezzo-soprano also devotes herself time and again to special projects. She brings one of these to the Elbphilharmonie for ProArte: Christoph Willibald Gluck’s grandiose opera »Orfeo ed Euridice« in a rarely performed later version. At her side: the Musiciens du Prince of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo under the direction of Gianluca Capuano and the outstanding choir Il Canto di Orfeo. A feast for the eyes and ears guaranteed!

Under the following link you can request a refund of your ticket price: Information on tickets refunds Thomas Hengelbrock has long been one of the leading lights of the European music scene with his synthesis of historic performing practice and energetic music-making. For the lead role in his concert performance of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s captivating opera »Iphigénie en Tauride«, he has invited one of today’s most moving soprano voices to come to Hamburg: Carolina López Moreno. Gluck turned against the virtuoso excesses of Baroque opera with pared-down works concentrating on an absorbing depiction of the plot. He used the classical story of »Iphigénie en Tauride« for finely-drawn character studies that call for a high level of differentiation from all members of the cast. An ideal piece for Hengelbrock to work his magic on. Together with his top-class Balthasar Neumann ensembles and an excellent soloists’ line-up, he makes the audience’s hearts beat faster with superb playing and singing, and intense drama.
