Orfeo ed Euridice Gluck

“Few singers are able to sustain the extraordinary vocal range required of the tenor in the 1774 French version of Orpheus and Eurydice,” says Pynkoski. “We are honored to have Mr.Ainsworth return - his talent in full bloom, to interpret this role, which has been an ambition of Opera Atelier for more than a decade.”

Gluck, bowing to the unique aesthetic of 1774 France, wrote extensive additional dance music forOrpheus, including an unprecedented balletic finale, which allows the full corps of the Artists of AtelierBallet an exceptional opportunity to shine in Lajeunesse Zingg’s choreography.

“The Artists of Atelier Ballet, who have reached an internationally acclaimed level of finesse, are thrilled to be involved in a production in which they can explore the stylistic links between baroque dancing and 19th century Romantic ballet,” adds Lajeunesse Zingg.
