Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice

Directed by Ondřej Havelka

With Bejun Mehta, Eva Liebau, Regula Mühlemann, Václav Luks and Alena Hellerová

Based on Gluck's masterpiece and performed entirely on location in and around the environs of the Baroque Theatre at the Cesky Krumlov Castle in the Czech Republic; it's an opera production designed specifically for the film with outstanding sets and production values. Countertenor Bejun Mehta sings the role of the torn main character and acts as an artistic advisor, making for an involving and impeccably performed opera.
