Orfeo de Monteverdi

Concert version of Orfeo, Claudio Monteverdi's work that ranks among the earliest titles of the operatic genre, performed by Cappella Mediterranea under the direction of Leonardo García-Alarcón as part of the IMPACTA Cycle.

Orfeo is an opera composed by Claudio Monteverdi, placed among the earliest works of the genre. On this occasion it is presented in a concert version as part of the IMPACTA Cycle.

The performance is by Cappella Mediterranea, the ensemble conducted by Leonardo García-Alarcón, whose career has become firmly established in opera houses and prestigious international festivals within the baroque repertoire. Its recording of the work is recognised in the current classical music catalogue.

The score, premiered more than four centuries ago, retains a theatrical force and a modernity that this reading brings to the fore, with a dramatic and highly expressive approach.
