René Jacobs; Mise en scène & choréographie: Trisha BrownThe fusion of dance and opera. First seen at La Monnaie in Brussels on 13 May 1998, this production of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo seen through the eyes of Trisha Brown and René Jacobs has become an operatic classic in a few short years. This is doubtless because it offers a total symbiosis of music, text and movement - described by the critic of the Daily Telegraph of London as being 'as close to the perfect dance opera as I have ever seen'.
