EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of Christoph Willibald Gluck's legendary opera, "Orphee et Eurydice," as performed in Brussels during the historic year of 1762. The photograph features Madame Dratz-Barrat in the role of Eurydice, adding an authentic Belgian touch to this production. Gluck's groundbreaking opera, which premiered in Vienna in 1762, revolutionized the world of classical music by shifting the focus from the god Orpheus to his beloved Eurydice. The story follows Orpheus's descent into the underworld to rescue his wife, Eurydice, who has died. With his enchanting music, Orpheus manages to win over the rulers of the underworld, Hades and Persephone, and is granted permission to lead Eurydice back to the land of the living, on the condition that he does not look back at her until they have both reached the surface. Madame Dratz-Barrat's portrayal of Eurydice in this Brussels production exudes a sense of vulnerability and longing, perfectly capturing the essence of a woman torn between the world of the living and the realm of the dead. The image also highlights the exquisite costumes and elaborate sets that would have been a hallmark of 18th-century opera productions. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of Gluck's masterpiece and the captivating performances of its cast, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of opera in Brussels during the 18th century.
