Salzburg Festival 2019: Orph�e aux enfers

Salzburg Festival 2019: Orph�e aux enfers

Operetta enthusiast Barrie Kosky has landed a gigantic success with Offenbach�s subversive and hilarious reversion of the Orpheus myth at the Salzburg Festival. Kosky created a magically precise staging in a glittering opulent scenery and a literally devilish choreography. The dialogues are performed by the brilliant German actor Max Hopp as John Styx. Under Enrique Mazzola�s precise conducting the Wiener Philharmoniker provide �a sparkling orchestral sound� (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung): �A frantic and fabulous show� (New York Times).
