Based on the simple yet deeply moving legendary tale of Orpheus, who loses his beloved wife to death but restores her through the power of his music, Orfeo ed Euridice is among the earliest operas to hold a secure place in the repertory. Christoph Gluck lavishes a wealth of beautiful melodies on this tale, whose appeal to composers is obvious; yet the abiding strength lies in the power and majesty of his inspiration, whether in the solos, the choruses, or the ballet music, which is surely the finest written for any opera.
