Four centuries ago Claudio Monteverdi created a piece that would change theatrical history and give birth to opera as we know it. In L’Orfeo, Monteverdi’s spectacular ability to amplify the beauty of poetry with music was joined for the first time with his astounding gift for the theatrical. Now, the Academy of Ancient Music blows away the cobwebs of history and presents Monteverdi’s most significant work with all the freshness, vitality, colour and verve with which it astounded a Mantuan audience in 1607. Expert players, engaging singers and authentic instruments will draw you in to Monteverdi’s world of sensual beauty and exquisite charm.
