The Metropolitan Opera

World premiere of this new production of Orfeo ed Euridice. Met debut of Mark Morris. First new Met production of Gluck's early masterpiece in over 35 years. These performances are dedicated to the memory of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson.

Mark Morris’s spirited take on the ancient Orpheus myth stars mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton as Orfeo, the grieving lover on a quest through the underworld. Soprano Hei-Kyung Hong sings the plaintive Euridice. Mark Wigglesworth conducts Gluck’s elegant score, a pinnacle of the Baroque repertoire.
