This is truly the most captivating thing I have ever seen, when it aired on PBS in the States back then. The visuals alone, but my God, Magdalena and Co. slayed!
A truly captivating performance, beautiful and breathtaking, artistic stylisation perfect, shining the light on the singing and what great singing, a pure joy.
Merci , Mille Grazie , Danke schön .....and I am lucky enough to live in Vienna and every now and then I walk past his former home on Wiedener Strasse and think and thank him.for his absolutely brilliant Live work ,Because he was the great role model and a father, so to speak, of Mozart, Haydn and also indirectly of Ludwig van Beethoven and also Schubert and many others...Best regards from Vienna 💞
For me that is magical--the body movements felt expressive of how my body was feeling listening to that music and going through traumatic processing of what I have missed and carelessly lost and painfully lost in my life, what will never be regained in the same way--but maybe in a transformed timeless way
you will find no better production or casting of Gluck's endearing masterpiece, it's innate beauty here brought out and emphasized by Robert Wilson's rich and spartan staging of set and movement, which transports us to the world of Aristotle's poetics and the ancient stage of 5th century Greece. Kozena, Bender and Petibon, as well as the Monteverdi Choir are completely entrancing!!!

This is so beautiful. Also it reminds a bit of Nolan's Interstellar film: what if Love is the only thing that travels through time and beyond, from world to world? Just as Orpheus did...
A l'origine le rôle d'Orphée est joué par un contre-tenor et les contre-ténor sont rares d'où la présence de voix féminines. Il y a des adaptations pour ténor et baryton.
C un très beau spectacle assurément...la mise en scène est suggestive...Amour est...un amour...Eurydice très belle et a une très belle voix... Orphée est à mon sens un peu léger comme mezzo pour ce rôle mais bon, c'est bien aussi....un beau spectacle
A wonderful performance - but i do find Gluck’s placing of that lovely aria ‘Che Faro…’ a bit silly in the dramatic sense. Orfeo has just lost his wife a second time and yet he can sing one of the most beautiful songs ever created. Oh well. Lovely performances.
In the Italian version that Gardiner recorded, his Orfeo is a male counter tenor. But the french version which he did again has a female Orfeo - strange. Wonder if he recorded the German version as well?
No, it's not a woke problem. In early operas, castratos were often given prominent roles. We're a little short on castratos these days, (thankfully), so for the last 150 years or so the castrato parts, if played at the original pitch, are given to women. The alternative is to lower the pitch of the part, and possibly reharmonize the whole damn opera! Forget about that. Also, parts for "children" are often sung by adult, female sopranos, e.g. Hansel und Gretel. It's just a sensible convention.
In this day and age, it is absurd, cynical, pretentious, and unintelligent for a woman, so represented, to be singing a role only expressible by a widower. Perhaps we should also have a version of this opera in which both Orfeo and Euridice are men -- Cencec and Jaroussky, perhaps? Bejun Mehta already made an inferior of this pretentious woe-myn, who would dare to be The Voice of Music! UGH! Kudos, Mehta! This production is out of date.
Don't take your issues with the production and its staging out on the singer. She's lovely. It's the directing and staging you find pretentious. She is carrying out their vision.
why is it cynical? Kozena is very convincing, almost like a modern-day Pierrot under a thin ray of light delicately shining over the shadows of hell. If you have issues with the gender confusion, maybe you should tell Berlioz... oh wait... He's dead!
i dont know how to tell you this but women can also experience and express grief, as evidenced by Kozena, whether or not they are acting in a traditionally male role or not. also, a production of orfeo ed euridice played by both men would be an interesting take.
This is truly the most captivating thing I have ever seen, when it aired on PBS in the States back then. The visuals alone, but my God, Magdalena and Co.
slayed!
Absolutely magnificent!

I love that the staging takes from the german expressionism silent films of 1920 mixed with all the rules of the barroque era
The only way this could be improved would be to have attended in Person. Well done to all ❤️🖤💛

Thank you!
@@carolineseguin-ro5vt , будь ласка!
Pauline Viardot has an absolutely spell binding voice. What a superb performance by all. Thank you.
Wow, you got to hear her? You must be really old! 😆 (I think you meant Magdalena Kozena? Pauline Viardot died in 1910...)
Beautiful set design, costumes and music. Well done.
I like the French version the most.
Well it has got the dance of the blessed spirits 😊
This is utterly magnificent!
Magnífica puesta en escena, con todo el drama y la intensidad del todo, con lo mínimo...
It’s pure magic! I am entranced
Très belle voix, une mise en scène sobre et efficace, des choeurs superbes
It is the human story that love and death are inseparable. Love the music.
13:43 What a phrase! Magnificent performance and stage.
This is so beautiful. Also it reminds a bit of Nolan's Interstellar film: what if Love is the only thing that travels through time and beyond, from world to world? Just as Orpheus did...
Mise en scène remarquable de Bob WILSON en effet 🎭🌺🌹 Francine Galtier
Mi piace,e' straordinariamente moderna,sembra composta ieri❤
It took me 20 minutes to notice that Eurydice was actually Orpheu 😅
Eurydice is dead at the start - hence the sad music at the opening after the overture ❤
Somptueux!!!
Wait. Wasn't he also touring Europe performing Bach Cantatas each week in a different church all that year?!?
Soberbia obra e interpretación!!!
Great
A l'origine le rôle d'Orphée est joué par un contre-tenor et les contre-ténor sont rares d'où la présence de voix féminines. Il y a des adaptations pour ténor et baryton.
Robert Wilson made this Orphée et Eurydice look exactly the silly Lohengrin I saw at the Met in the 80s.
I think his design ethic was based around the art you find on a Greek Vase.
Kocham,kocham,kocham
😂ja tez bardzo kocham ❤
Bellissimo tutto , una piacevolezza.Grazie!
💎💎💎💎
une pure merveille !!

The screen keeps freezing - from about halfway through Act 2 to the end of the opera.
C un très beau spectacle assurément...la mise en scène est suggestive...Amour est...un amour...Eurydice très belle et a une très belle voix... Orphée est à mon sens un peu léger comme mezzo pour ce rôle mais bon, c'est bien aussi....un beau spectacle
Parce que cet Orphée est une femme et devrait être un homme, non ?
Compliqué les airs d'agilité d'Orphée avec une voix plus lourde 😵💫
very good but the trio in the Berlioz edition 1859 ?? but ok he is Gardiner
Merveilleux! Dommage qu'on ne puisse désactiver les sous-titres anglais!
Why? English understands everyone, french only very few. Thanks for English subtitles! ❤️🙏🏼
Viena Version ist Most better than french
A wonderful performance - but i do find Gluck’s placing of that lovely aria ‘Che Faro…’ a bit silly in the dramatic sense. Orfeo has just lost his wife a second time and yet he can sing one of the most beautiful songs ever created. Oh well. Lovely performances.

But why do they all seem ladies of Orpheo and Amor are male??
In the Italian version that Gardiner recorded, his Orfeo is a male counter tenor. But the french version which he did again has a female Orfeo - strange. Wonder if he recorded the German version as well?
The one who plays Orfeo seems to sort of look like Maria Callas. Maybe she intended to. Perhaps a re-enactment of Maria Callas.
Actually Magdalena Kozena is a blonde lady and dyed her hair black for this performance!
Кто тоже смотрит муз лит?

pro tip: there is another copy of this on YT (-QS8WmznMt4) without subtitles but without freeze-frames, so cue them both up at once

Why is no one talking about the image constantly stopping?? This fucking sucks
48:30 immortalized by Yuja Wang
Орфея играет женщина?! Зачем?! Это что, история любви двух лесбиянок?! Глюк в гробу переворачивается от вас!
It confuses the storyline to have Orpheus played by a woman.
But... Why? I love it when women play these pantsroles... Don't see the problem...
@@emiliabognerIt’d be better if it’s played by a male since in the actual Legend Orpheus is a male
And it isn’t confusing to have a man playing Orfeo sing like a woman?
wowwwww a woke opera version¡¡
Why can Orpheus not be a normal man? Terrible.
How can you give a woman for Orpheus? Already this new political narrative is cutting in everywhere, Orpheus was a woman?
Orpheus was originally written for a castrato.
@@willemvanniekerk4312 That's right, the caster was a man....
You are so ignorant about opera! It's not new politic, it's from barroque.
@@estrella6776 In barroque Orfeus was a women? No!

Get over yourself, or at least express yourself clearly. This production is outstanding, and we are lucky to have it.
why is it cynical? Kozena is very convincing, almost like a modern-day Pierrot under a thin ray of light delicately shining over the shadows of hell. If you have issues with the gender confusion, maybe you should tell Berlioz... oh wait... He's dead!
What if Orfeo was a lesbian? Then could she sing it for you?
