Orfeo ed Euridice. Christoph Willibald Gluck

Orfeo – Anita Rachvelishvili
Euridice – Maite Alberola
Amore – Auxiliadora Toledano
Dancer – Aline Vincent

"Young Georgian mezzo Anita Rachvelishvili, who recently shot to stardom with a string of celebrated Carmens at La Scala, Berlin Staatsoper and the Met, sang the title role with amazing breath control, an easy, vigorous low register and a genuine command of the Gluck style. Spanish sopranos Maite Alberola and Auxiliadora Toledano seconded her adequately as Euridice and Amore, and the Palau de la Música Catalana Chamber Choir sang with power, verve and passion — even if they, too, were stuck with costumes that (as one Spanish critic said) seemed to have been designed by their enemies" Operanews
