Gluck: Orphee & Eurydice
) | Label: BEL AIR Catalog: BAC452 Format: The second, a new video release (Blu-ray DVD; BelAir) stars Roberto Alagna and a sexy Serena Gamberoni as the ill- fated lovers. Basso Marc Barrard is the ‘Guide’ to the underworld. Director David Alagna’s dark but very effective production at Teatro Comunale di Bologna (2008) updates the action to great effect: Eurydice is killed in a post-wedding reception automobile accident, not by the mythic `snake in the grass.’ This “Orphee” is a quite moving experience. © The Connecticut Post  Price: $57.98 |
