The Italian Orfeo ed Euridice was the first of Gluck’s great ‘reform’ operas. In waxa, 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’, halkaas oo music had kaxeeya sheekada. The opera’s premiere at the Vienna Burgtheater on 5 October 1762 was a great success – so much so that Gluck himself revised the opera for the French premiere at the Paris Opéra on 2 August 1774 as Orphée et Eurydice. Waa dambe, weyn iyo grander; Gluck dhaqdhaqaaqa la dheereeyey, added new ones and revised the orchestration to suit the forces of the Opéra. Waxa uu sidoo kale furneyd doorka Orpheus ka castrato Aalto u haute-Contre of opera Faransiis, karnay aad u dheer. The opera remains Gluck’s most popular work, oo innaba durkin soohdinta ah ee taariikhda operatic.
