	Orfeo ed Euridice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Act II In a rocky landscape, the Furies refuse to admit Orfeo to the Underworld, and sing of Cerberus, canine guardian of the Underworld.
		When Orfeo, accompanied by his lyre (represented in the opera by a harp), begs for pity in the aria Deh placatevi con me, he is at first interrupted by cries of "No!" from the Furies, but they are eventually softened by the sweetness of his singing and let him in.
		Euridice takes this to be a sign that he no longer loves her, and refuses to continue, concluding that death would be preferable.

		Orpheus, alas, in his anxiety to see if Euridice was following him and what state she was in, spontaneously glanced back and she, in fulfilment of the warning, vanished from her husband’s sight with a farewell wave of the hand.
		Orfeo ed Euridice is the first opera composed by Christoph Willibald Gluck, who was born in 1714 at Erasbach in the Upper Palatinate and died in Vienna in 1787, two weeks before the Prague premiere of Mozart’s Don Giovanni.
		Another feature of the “reform” was the simplification of the plot, but the extreme simplicity of Orfeo ed Euridice seems to be due to a desire to conduct a trial run which would be neither too complex nor too costly, mindful perhaps of the rule which recommends that “experiments be carried out with soda water”.

		With the blessing of Cupid, Orpheus is permitted to cross over to the underworld and bring Euridice home only on condition that he does not look at her.
		After a fantastic journey in which his path is barred by furies and the delights of Elysium, Orpheus finds his greatest obstacle is Euridice, who is baffled by his refusal to return her gaze.

	A CurtainUp Review: Orfeo ed Euridice
		Euridice's corpse is mourned by husband Orfeo and dancers slowly wandering on a boulder-filled, raked stage.
		While all are silently consumed at her loss, the Euridice's spirit (actually the singer Amy Burton brilliantly lit by a single spot) departs.
		Orfeo is interpreted by Artur Stefanowicz, who sings well within the limitations of the countertenor technique and wisely chooses to avoid the final higher alternative for the conclusion to his principal aria.

		Greco and Scholten have apparently come to the conclusion that the opera depicts Orfeo's "initiation, his rite of passage", which takes place in "an interspace that is not Hades itself, but the threshold before it".
		Daniel Taylor's Orfeo is part man, part angel, pursuing Isabel Monar's hieratic Euridice, who is repeatedly whisked away from him by a group of seven fl-clad dancers.

		British mezzo-soprano, Dame Janet Baker, chose to retire from the operatic stage singing the title role in Sir Peter Hall's acclaimed production of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice.
		This 1982 recording from Glyndebourne, where Dame Janet appropriately began her professional career, proved a suitable crowning glory to the career of one of the great singing actresses of our age.
		Dame Janet's realisation of Orfeo, the grieving musician from Greek mythology who follows his beloved wife Euridice to the depths of Hades in an attempt to bring her back from dead, is totally convincing - "…one of her finest and most moving portrayals".
