On June 8, the Metropolitan Opera brings its 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee radio broadcasts to a close with a sublime opera about the eternal power of music: Gluck’s "Orfeo ed Euridice," performed live from the Met stage.
Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo stars as Orpheus, the renowned musician of mythology, and soprano Ying Fang is his beloved Eurydice, whom he vows to rescue from the underworld.
Soprano Elena Villalón makes her network broadcast debut as the god Amore, and J. David Jackson leads the Met orchestra and chorus in Gluck’s expressive, elegant, and moving score.
"Orfeo ed Euridice" will be heard live over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 8.
