Emerging Pictures' exclusive digital cinema opera series presents Claudio Monteverdi's powerful opera L'ORFEO, performed at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, in coproduction with the Opéra National de Paris.
Based on the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, and known for its dramatic power and lively orchestration, Monteverdi's Baroque masterwork has obtained a position of supreme importance in the history of opera. This unique production is staged and designed by Robert Wilson, whom The New York Times has described as “a towering figure in the world of experimental theater, an explorer in the uses of time and space onstage”; conducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini, considered a can’t miss in today’s international early music scene; starring Georg Nigl in the leading role of Orpheus, one of his favorite parts and certainly a signature role. Also featuring Roberta Invernizzi, one of the most sought after soprano soloists in the field of early music.
