One response to “Review: Orfeo ed Euridice, Scottish Opera”
-
I agree about the orchestra – competent enough but too large I thought. But I loved Caitlin Hulcup’s Orfeo. I saw the production at the Sunday matinee and passion there was a-plenty. ‘Che faro’ delivered from lying to kneeling to standing was just wonderful. So much so that I struggled with the swift transition from tragedy to happy ending, made more acute by Amor – if Grace Kelly, then a rather louche version!
I did enjoy it but your review made me realise what was unsatisfying for me. The ‘Mad Men’ 50s theme (seems to be a current choice for designers) was at odds with what is quite a profound myth. It was fun but that’s not what I go to Orfeo for. Maybe i need to lighten up!
As to the ‘steampunk party’, it was the underworld surely – but if Hades is that camp, then it might be quite fun. Loved your description of the lime green nuns!
