Movie Description This staging of Christoph Willibald Gluck's ORPHEÉ AT EURYDICE stars Vesselina Kasarova, Rosemary Joshua, and Deborah York. Gluck's adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus fully illustrates his goals as a composer. Gluck transforms the famous Italian opera into a simpler story, which bursts full of emotional intensity. As the first of Gluck's reform operas, ORPHEÉ connects the music to the drama, and is led by emotions rather than convoluted plot lines. Gluck's reform operas added an element of realism and subtlety, creating a balance between music and drama.
