Head to the Rui Cunha Foundation for an evening of early classical period opera.
Raised in Bohemia but also having lived in Vienna and Paris, Gluck is a respected composer for the Habsburg Court. Gluck broke through the norms of Metastasian libretti to craft a newer and more approachable way to understand the convoluted stories and actions of opera in that time period.
Abounding with the melodies and using a more accompanied style of recitative rather than the “secco recitativo” prevalent in the days, he is considered to be the first German composer to push story over stars and form.
When: September 30, 2017
