L’ORFEO
-semi-staged versiona-
Claudio Monteverdi 1567-1643
Leonardo García Alarcón gave us a “scorching and fascinating”
version of L’incoronazione di Poppea with Cappella Mediterranea two
seasons ago. This time, the Argentinian maestro, who is an expert
in the music of Monteverdi, leads his ensemble and the Chœur de
Chambre de Namur in the splendid score of L’Orfeo, which he turned
into a “memorable event” when he conducted it at the Teatro Real.
This time, in a semi-staged version, García Alarcón unravels the
extraordinary beauty and mystery of the score with singers
including the Italian tenor Valerio Contaldo, one of the best
current interpreters of Orfeo, and the Argentinean soprano Mariana
Flores in the roles of Euridice and La Musica.
