Christoph Willibald Gluck's classic tale of love in the afterlife gets a modern makeover in Harry Kupfer's restaging of Orfeo ed Euridice recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Featuring German male alto Jochen Kowalski in the role of Orfeo and British Soprano Gillian Webster in the role of Eurodice, this three-act opera is conducted by Hartmut Haenchen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
