An intimate recording of an opera that celebrates the emotional power of music...

During lockdown in early 2021, Opera North recorded Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice for broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Unable to perform live for audiences during Covid-19 restrictions, the Company’s musicians opened the recording process to a camera team instead. The result is a unique glimpse of the enduring passion and artistry of music-making, behind the closed doors of Leeds Town Hall.

Unable to live without his dead wife Euridice, Orfeo journeys to the underworld on a quest to return her to the land of the living. There is one condition: he must not look back as she follows him home, or he will lose her for all eternity.

Gluck’s music pierces straight to the heart throughout: in the terror of Orfeo’s encounter with the Furies; in the tenderness of the pastoral scenes; and, above all, in Orfeo’s great lament for his lost love, ‘Che farò senza Euridice?’ (‘What is life without Euridice?’).

Irish mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy sings the role of Orfeo, with Fflur Wyn as Euridice and Daisy Brown as Amore. Early music specialist Laurence Cummings conducts this recording of a work of unique grace and power.

The unique grace and power of Gluck’s sublime score will be fully revealed in these concert performances, originally performed for film and radio broadcast during lockdown in 2021.

Soloists Alice Coote (Orfeo), Fflur Wyn (Euridice) and Daisy Brown (Amor) join the Orchestra of Opera North under the baton of Principal Guest Conductor Antony Hermus, in Gluck’s reworking of the Orpheus myth.

The beauty and directness of the music pierces the heart throughout: in the terror of Orfeo’s encounter with the Furies; in the tenderness of the pastoral scenes; and, above all, in Orfeo’s celebrated lament for his lost love, ‘Che farò senza Euridice?’ (‘What is life without Euridice?’).
