Gluck: Alceste

Gluck: Alceste ($FREE)

This Théâtre du Châtelet production of Gluck's French version of Alceste was created by by Robert Wilson, who is known for his intriguing, uncluttered stagings, which make arresting use of gesture, colour and light. Anne Sofie von Otter takes the title role and brings to her characterisation a mesmerising power and poignancy. Her artistry is matched by an equally sensitive performance from Paul Groves as Admète. John Eliot Gardiner conducts his period-instrument ensemble, the English Baroque Soloists, and the excellent Monteverdi Choir provides the chorus. Unusually, they sing from the pit, with dancers taking their place on stage. (English Sub-Titles)

Johann Strauss II: Simplicius (Zurich Opera) ($FREE)

The opera is a theatrical mixture of sung and spoken text and the richly varied score features enchanting melodies, spectacular choral and ensemble pieces, and authentic Straussian gems in 3/4 time.German.
