Gluck's opera retells the myth of Orpheus descending into the underworld to rescue his wife Euridice by taming the furies through the power of his music. Writing in a simpler, leaner style than the prevailing fashion, Gluck goes right to the heart of the story, portraying the heartbreak of lost love and conjuring up the devilish atmosphere of Hades. American countertenor David Daniels makes his long-awaited Covent Garden debut as Orfeo in this concert performance. Presented by Donald Macleod.
