 Live in HD:

The Metropolitan Opera’s Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck

Saturday, January 24, 2009 (Running time 1 hour 31 minutes / no intermission)

From the Met Web Site: “Mark Morris’s acclaimed production returns. This complete vision for Gluck, with choreography by Morris and costumes by Isaac Mizrahi, features the artistry of Stephanie Blythe in the male title role. The alluring Danielle de Niese is Orfeo’s adored wife, Euridice, who inspires the hero to face the underworld for her sake. Music Director James Levine conducts.”
