  • World Premiere of Orpheus Alive with Company Premiere of Chaconne Opens November 15 Principal Casting Announced
    World Premiere of Orpheus Alive with Company Premiere of Chaconne Opens November 15 Principal Casting Announced November 4, 2019 … Karen Kain, Artistic Director of The National Ballet of Canada, today announced the principal casting for the world premiere of Orpheus Alive by Choreographic Associate Robert Binet featuring a new commissioned score by acclaimed New York composer Missy Mazzoli. Orpheus Alive is paired with the company premiere of George Balanchine’s Chaconne November 15 – 21, 2019 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. #OrpheusAliveNBC #ChaconneNBC Artists have long been fascinated with the Greek myth of Orpheus, the gifted musician who rescues his lover Eurydice from death only to lose her again in a moment of doubt. At its core, theirs is a story about love, trust and the redemptive potential of art. With Orpheus Alive, Mr. Binet brings a fresh perspective to the myth, casting Orpheus as a woman, Eurydice as a man and the audience as gods of the underworld who decide their fate. The opening night cast on November 15 will feature First Soloist Jenna Savella and Second Soloist Spencer Hack as Orpheus and Eurydice along with Principal Dancer Sonia Rodriguez as Eurydice’s Mother. Subsequent performances will feature Principal Dancer Heather Ogden and First Soloist Hannah Fischer in the role of Orpheus, Principal Dancers Harrison James and Brendan Saye as Eurydice and First Soloist Tanya Howard as Eurydice’s Mother. In the music for Orpheus Alive, Ms. Mazzoli quotes Gluck’s opera Orfeo ed Euridice, setting the tone for George Balanchine’s Chaconne which features the same Gluck score.

  • Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette
    Tracing Eurydice: Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette Master’s Thesis in The Department of Communication Studies Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Media Studies) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2013 © Ryan Cadrette, 2013 iii Abstract Tracing Eurydice: Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette The primary purpose of this thesis is to postulate a working method of critical inquiry into the processes of narrative adaptation by examining the consistencies and ruptures of a story as it moves across representational form. In order to accomplish this, I will draw upon the method of structuralist textual analysis employed by Roland Barthes in his essay S/Z to produce a comparative study of three versions of the Orpheus myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. By reviewing the five codes of meaning described by Barthes in S/Z through the lens of contemporary adaptation theory, I hope to discern a structural basis for the persistence of adapted narrative. By applying these theories to texts in a variety of different media, I will also assess the limitations of Barthes’ methodology, evaluating its utility as a critical tool for post-literary narrative forms. iv Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Peter van Wyck, for his reassurance that earlier drafts of this thesis were not necessarily indicative of insanity, and, hopefully, for his forgiveness of my failure to incorporate all of his particularly insightful feedback. I would also like to thank Matt Soar and Darren Wershler for agreeing to actually read the peculiar monstrosity I have assembled here.

  • Christoph Willibald Gluck's Orfeo Ed Euridice & Orphée Et Euridice
    August 6, 2020 – Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice & Orphée et Euridice On this week’s Thursday Night Opera House, we’ll hear two different versions of the classic Orpheus and Euridice story by the same composer. Orfeo ed Euridice was the first of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s three so-called “reform” operas (the others were Alceste and Paride ed Elena), in which a “noble simplicity” was intended to replace the complicated plots and florid musical style of opera seria. The original version, in Italian and set to a libretto by Ranieri de’ Cazabigi, was first performed at Vienna’s Burgtheater on October 5, 1762, where Orpheus was sung by an alto castrato. Gluck’s revised Orphée et Euridice was premiered on August 2, 1774 at the Royal Academy of Music in Paris, in French and with Orpheus sung by a tenor. When the original Italian version of the opera was revived in the 1920s the role of Orpheus was generally sung by mezzo- sopranos, but nowadays it’s generally sung by countertenors. The musician Orfeo/Orfée (mezzo-soprano Maureen Forrester/tenor Jean-Paul Fouchécourt) mourns the death of his beloved wife Euridice (soprano Teresa Stich- Randall/soprano Catherine Dubosc). Amore/L’Amour (soprano Hanny Steffek/soprano Suzie Le Blanc) tells Orpheus that Zeus will permit Euridice to return to Earth from Hades but if she is released, he must not look back at her until they have returned to the living world. Orpheus charms the Furies with the beauty of his singing and finds Euridice among the Blessed Spirits.

Many art forms have adapted the myth over several centuries; here are just a few. Broadway musical: Hadestown Operas: Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo; Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice; and many others Ballet: Stravinsky’s Orpheus, choreographed by George Balanchine Play / Film: Vinicius de Moraes’ play Orfeu da Conceição (1956), adapted by Marcel Camus into the 1959 film Black Orpheus Film: Jean Cocteau’s Orphic Trilogy – The Blood of a Poet (1930), Orpheus (1950), and Testament of Orpheus (1959) OTHER CONNECTIONS: THE GALOP INFERNAL In the final scene, the gods sing and dance to a “galop infernal,” which was an instant hit when it premiered and has now become known simply as the “can-can,” heard in every conceivable format. A commercial for ShopRite Composer Camille Saint-Saëns borrowed the galop and slowed it to a crawl to represent the tortoise in his orchestral suite The Carnival of the Animals.

  • Der Auf Orpheus (Und/Oder Eurydike)
    Reinhard Kapp Chronologisches Verzeichnis (in progress) der auf Orpheus (und/oder Eurydike) bezogenen oder zu beziehenden Opern, Kantaten, Instrumentalmusiken, literarischen Texte, Theaterstücke, Filme und historiographischen Arbeiten (Stand: 5. 10. 2018) Für Klaus Heinrich Da das primäre Interesse bei der folgenden Zusammenstellung musikgeschichtlicher Art ist, stehen am Anfang der Einträge die Komponisten, soweit es sich um musikalische Werke handelt – auch dann, wenn die zeitgenössische Einschätzung wohl eher den Librettisten die Priorität eingeräumt hätte. Unter einem bestimmten Jahr steht wiederum die Musik an erster Stelle, gefolgt von Theater, Film, Dichtung und Wissenschaft. Vielfach handelt es sich um Nachrichten aus zweiter Hand; ob etwa die genannten Stücke sich erhalten haben, ließ sich noch nicht in allen Fällen ermitteln. Doch ist u.U. die bloße Tatsache der Aufführung schon Information genug. Musik- bzw. literaturwissenschaftliche Sekundärliteratur zu einzelnen Stücken bzw. Texten wurde in der Regel nicht verzeichnet. Die Liste beruht nicht auf systematischen Erhebungen, daher sind die Angaben von unterschiedlicher Genauigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. Ergänzungen und Korrekturen werden dankbar entgegengenommen. Eine erste rudimentäre Version erschien in: talismane. Klaus Heinrich zum 70. Geburtstag , hsg. v.
