Tango-Opera: Euridice, una sombra

Join us for a new tango-infused version of Gluck’s classic opera, set in a cabaret in Buenos Aires in the 1930s.

This tango version of Gluck’s opera Orfeo ed Euridice, with direction and dramaturgy by Mariana Ciolfi and musical arrangements by Sebastian Zubieta, is based on the version Gluck premiered in Vienna in 1762. The characters are transported to a carnival celebration in Buenos Aires in the 1930s, and the score is re-orchestrated for a tango quartet. Gluck’s arias are the musical focus, while the recitatives, which traditionally provide dramatic context, are replaced by poetic texts written by great tango lyricists such as José María Contursi and Emilio Fresedo, compiled by Ciolfi.
