LOrfeo Favola in musica
1 hr 56 minMusic
First seen at La Monnaie in Brussels on 13 May 1998 this production of Monteverdis LORFEO seen through the eyes of Trisha Brown and René Jacobs has become an operatic classic in a few short years This is doubtless because it offers a total symbiosis of music text and movement described by the critic of the Daily Telegraph of London as being as close to the perfect dance opera as I have ever seen Or to quote Gilles Macassar in Télérama In the pit and onstage the Brussels production has only one watchword mobility nimbleness dexterity The singers run fly whirl like dancers defying gravity From the flies down to the footlights the whole theatre is under a fantastic spell For Christophe Vetter on ConcertoNet This Orfeo can be seen again and again with immense pleasure René Jacobss conducting continues to arouse admiration for its precision its stylistic rigour its inexhaustible inventiveness and its feeling for the contrasts so vital to this repertoire
