on
the WORLD PREMIERE of a new version of
ORPHEUS and EURIDICE
or
when a theatre song cycle becomes a mini-opera and
an olympic swimming pool becomes an operatic stage
So
you better believe it when we say that this mini-opera incarnation of
Ricky Ian Gordon's ORPHEUS and EURIDICE is
not like anything you've seen before.
Credit the creative and adventurous imagination of LONG BEACH OPERA's
Artistic and General Director, the Viennese conductor and stage director
ANDREAS MITISEK who has enlisted modern technology in the service of
art to give us this one-of-a kind multi-media production of a contemporary
work, born from grief and inspired by a legend from antiquity.
This exciting and challenging production runs at the BELMONT PLAZA OLYMPIC
POOL in Long Beach, California on February 17, 18 and 19, 2008. Visit
the LONG
BEACH OPERA website for tickets and more information.
Commissioned
by virtuoso clarinetist TODD PALMER, the work was originally staged
by the Lincoln Center in 2005 as a piece for soprano, clarinet and piano
with ELIZABETH FUTRAL and TODD PALMER who also perform the lead roles
in this new version.
In this brief preview clip taken from an extended interview, soprano
ELIZABETH FUTRAL who is both narrator and Euridice in this adaptation
of the myth shares some of her thoughts on this unique production and
GORDON's music

a video preview of the production.
