The Italian Orfeo ed Euridice was the first of Gluck’s great ‘reform’ operas. nel, 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’, onde a música conduce sempre a historia. The opera’s premiere at the Vienna Burgtheater on 5 outubro 1762 was a great success – so much so that Gluck himself revised the opera for the French premiere at the Paris Opéra on 2 agosto 1774 as Orphée et Eurydice. É máis, maior e máis grandioso; Gluck movementos prolongados, added new ones and revised the orchestration to suit the forces of the Opéra. Tamén reformular o papel Orfeu de alto castrato á Haute-contre da ópera francesa, un moi alto contido. The opera remains Gluck’s most popular work, e un fito na historia operática.
