Abstract
This is your first Monteverdi production, yet the myth of Orpheus has been very present in your career, from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, which was your debut in Florence together with conductor Riccardo Muti, to Luigi Rossi's Orfeo at La Scala. Do you have a particular predilection for this character? I have to say that these were not my personal choices; I simply accepted proposals that were made to me. Undoubtedly, the myth of Orpheus is one of those that is more suited to musical theater, and it does fascinate me to focus, through these three operas, on the various versions of the Orphic myth, to bring out the ways in which this mythological conglomerate travels through the history of opera, and to explore Gluck's point of view with respect to Rossi's and Monteverdi's. This seems to me the most interesting aspect of producing these operas. Do you perceive unifying motives among the three operas?
