CLASART CLASSIC

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

CLASART CLASSIC

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

CLASART CLASSIC

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

CLASART CLASSIC

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

CLASART CLASSIC

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

2015 After years of exile the Berlin State Opera is moving back into its original home Unter den Linden where it has celebrated music and theatre since 1742 2009 A repertory season before the State Opera moves out into its exile in the Berlin Schiller Theatre The moving-angel documentary follows the human stories of the building

We see the last performances before the move Placido Domingo in Simon Boccanegra or Rolando Villazoacuten in Eugen Onegin He walks through the decaying backstage hallways singing bdquoI love this buildingldquo Barenboim al-ways present on transmission moni-tors directing from backstage com-pares the renovation with a face-lift Back in the new-old house in three years ldquowithout wrinklesrdquo

In contrast Trischi the stage clean-er always ready for action with his broom watches La Bohegraveme from the side of the stage He has a very direct almost naiumlve affinity to opera

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death

CLASART CLASSIC

Recording Of Orfeo Ed Euridice Completed

For the Gluck anniversary in 2014 Clasart Classic has realized a film adaption of Gluckrsquos first reformative work Orfeo ed Euridice starring the incomparable Bejun Mehta as Orfeo The Baroque theatre of the Ceskyacute Krumlov Castle provides an ideal backdrop for one of the most impor-tant operas in music history Direc-tor Ondrej Havelka captures much more than the hauntingly beautiful music of Gluck performed by singers

on stage He chooses a cinematic approach that literally takes us be-hind the scenes into the hall and down into dark corridors deep below the theatre The mixture of period details and modern psychological interpretation cannot fail to grip the viewer The immortal myth of a lov-errsquos power to bring his beloved back to life with music assumes a new dimension here with an ingenious depiction of Euridicersquos death and Orfeo bringing about a most unex-pected ending

ldquoBejun Mehta is arguably the best countertenor in the world todayrdquo wrote the Suumlddeutsche Zeitung and in the role of Orfeo he lends credi-

bility to the emotions tormenting his heart As Euridice Austrian soprano Eva Liebau juggles joy and jealousy as the beloved who doesnrsquot realize just how lucky she is Bringing comic relief to the workrsquos dark tone is Regu-la Muumlhlemann as Amor who cheerily sends mortals zigzaging on their way to life love ndash and maybe death
