Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck, created in Italian in Vienna in 1762, is one of his best-known operas and marks a break from opera seria. It features a mythological plot with reduced characters, increased role for choir and ballet, and coherent scenes instead of alternating recitatives and arias. Performed in concert version with soloists: Iestyn Davies (Orfeo), Sophie Junker (Euridice), Marie Perbost (Love).
