The Italian Orfeo ed Euridice was the first of Gluck’s great ‘reform’ operas. それで, he and his librettist Ranieri de’ Calzabigi sought to move away from the complicated plots and ornate music of opera seria, in favour of a ‘noble simplicity’, 音楽は常に物語をドライブ. The opera’s premiere at the Vienna Burgtheater on 5 10月 1762 was a great success – so much so that Gluck himself revised the opera for the French premiere at the Paris Opéra on 2 8月 1774 as Orphée et Eurydice. それは長い, 大きくより壮大です; グルック拡張の動き, added new ones and revised the orchestration to suit the forces of the Opéra. He also recast the role of Orpheus from alto castrato to the haute-contre of French opera, a very high tenor. The opera remains Gluck’s most popular work, and a landmark in operatic history.
