About

In 1607, Claudio Monteverdi premiered his Orfeo for the Carnival opening in the Court theatre of Duke Vincenzo I of Gonzaga in Mantua. For the first time in the history of music, real characters are brought to life with deeply moving human feelings: with this exceptional dramatic power, modern opera in born. Stéphane Fuget, a great specialist in this repertoire and its historical instrumentation, after Le Retour d’Ulysse dans sa Patrie, has brought together some of the finest vocal and instrumental virtuosos for this new Orfeo: he has entrusted the eponymous role to the splendid and sensitive Julian Prégardien, to sing all the magnificence of the first true hero in the history of opera.

12th July 2024

this second release in the group’s Monteverdi opera series abundantly shows the value in baroque repertoire of being theatrical and throwing discretion to the winds...none of Fuget’s singers is a shrinking violet, and every word and note they utter seriously tugs at your heart. Fuget’s instrumental forces play their part, boldly colouring textures.
