Orphée et Eurydice - 'J'ai perdu mon Eurydice' (Juan Diego Flórez, The Royal Opera)

Juan Diego Flórez in The Royal Opera's production of Gluck's Orphée et Eurydice. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/eurydice
The Italian Orfeo ed Euridice was the first of Gluck’s great ‘reform’ operas. In it, he and his librettist Ranieri de’ Calzabigi sought to move away from the complicated plots and ornate music of opera seria, in favour of a ‘noble simplicity’, where music always drives the story. The opera’s premiere at the Vienna Burgtheater on 5 October 1762 was a great success - so much so that Gluck himself revised the opera for the French premiere at the Paris Opéra on 2 August 1774 as Orphée et Eurydice. It is longer, larger and grander; Gluck extended movements, added new ones and revised the orchestration to suit the forces of the Opéra. He also recast the role of Orpheus from alto castrato to the haute-contre of French opera, a very high tenor. The opera remains Gluck’s most popular work, and a landmark in operatic history.
Orphée et Eurydice includes some of Gluck’s most loved music, from Orphée’s tender ‘Objet de mon amour’ and ‘J’ai perdu mon Eurydice’ to the spectacular ‘L’espoir renaît dans mon âme’, added for the French premiere. The chorus also assumes a role of great importance, particularly in their roles as the shades and Furies of the underworld. But the opera is perhaps most celebrated for its innovative dance music; two of its many highlights include the ‘Dance of the Furies’ and the ‘Dance of the Blessed Spirits’. In this new production for The Royal Opera, acclaimed choreographer Hofesh Shechter, who made his debut with The Royal Ballet in the 2014/15 Season, makes his operatic debut in collaboration with Associate Director of Opera John Fulljames (La donna del lago, Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny).

Quelle merveilleuse interprétation d'Orphée. Juan Diego Flores boulerverse et enchante. Quel bonheur j'aurais à le voir et l'entendre sur scène.

[@cookiesfromkay]

One of my favorite opera performances! Juan Diego Florez did not disappoint.

[@kimmartin4897]

There is such passion in his voice, and his tone is quite simply exquisite ❤

[@jackyrochou5302]

Magnifique interprétation qui donne des frissons. Réellement superbe . Bravo, Splendide!!.. Jacky Rochou

GLUCK would certainly praise his performance! Wonderful!

I really love this tenor. The staging and direction not so much, but I could listen to his beautiful voice all day and never get tired of it.

[@songelosodelzefiro2102]

Juan Diego Florez at his best! Vocally gorgeus and fully convincing at acting! The scene, so difficult to perform, is really moving. The first tragical role of JDF is very successful and admirable. Bravo!

[@rolandetisseyre113]

Songelosodelzeforo... I totally agree with you, as usual. JDF is not only a great singer and actor. He is also a miracle of an artist, loved by the audience everywhere in the world, and for good reasons. Even the jalous find it difficult to diminish his achievements. Mission impossible!

Paola Red82 Hi Paola, perche dispiace, que faro senza Euridice mi piace anche. Non lo so si FLOREZ canta anch' essa. Molto piacere con l'Orphee all scala, addio cara Paola!☺

[@paolared8245]

Krimhilde Amann Hi K rimhilde . Yes, this is a marvellous aria, la conoscevo gia da molto tempo, e mi e' sempre piaciuta ! Non vedo l 'ora di essere alla Scala. Ci sara'un piccolo problema : cosa mettermi? Ma questo e' un piccolissimo problema ...e'strano vedere J.D. in una scena tragica, perche' ieri l'ho visto in Tv nella Cenerentola, un 'edizione del 2000 ! Era giovanissimo e magrissimo, sembrava Bambi di Walt Disney ! Ma 'Ritrovarla io giuro .....' Come la cantava ..! E ieri ho visto su FB 'Le Comte Ory' con la Damrau ! Non conoscevo l'opera ...Wirklich komisch! Und da : als Orpheus ! Sonderbar, nicht wahr ? Aufwiederschreiben !

Such joy to have been there

[@HandelLover1989]

Very interesting, how such a great singer like JDF founds himself in so many different styles and types of aesthetics. Interesting.... Problem for singers with arias like this is that everyone have some point of view and some vision of it... JDF presents something really original, but still remaining good tase and style. Bravo!

[@dieterflorian865]

I agree Juan Diego is able to Present different types of Roles, he has a Brillant and bright Voice no Problems with high Notes, Look at the Actually ROH Festival Pesaro, Ricciardo and Zoraide a beautiful Performance and Flórez is the King of Rossini arias

Beautiful voice. It is a pleasure to see a male singing the male character instead of a female.

The role was written in Italian for a castrato. But they were mainly popular in Italy. When the opera was done in France the role was lowered for a tenor.
