Gluck: Orphée et Euridice. Teatro alla Scala, Michele Mariotti

Juan Diego Flórez dazzled audiences and critics alike when he played the virtuoso role of Orphée in La Scala’s first ever staging of Gluck’s opera in its French version: “Juan Diego Flórez delivered a lesson in style. His tone is darker and his projection more self-effacing than in the past, but class is permanent. His agility and legato are utterly thrilling. The ovations were never-ending.” (Corriere della sera) A production by Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London Recorded live at Teatro alla Scala, Milan, March 2018
