The reason why
Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo is deemed the first masterpiece in Opera history is
because of the author’s dramatic genius who, for the very first time, was
capable of establishing a subtle alliance between word, note and affection…
In L’Orfeo, Monteverdi
provides the mythical figure of the poet with a prodigiously human and
incredibly modern incarnation while the protagonist descends to the underworld in
search of her sweetheart.
Yves Lenoir, the stage
director, whose proven talent was already present in Carmen, premiered
in 2020, has been able to find a new incarnation of the myth by setting Orfeo
in one room at the Chelsea Hotel, a hotel inhabited by creatures directly taken
from Andy Warhol’s factory.
