To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ambitious "Festival Internacional de Musica Castell de Peralada", the Catalan theater collective La Fura dels Baus and its director Carlus Padrissa have staged Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice with three splendid soloists in a production that confirms the Fura's creativity. The most striking aspect of the production is the participation of the orchestral ensemble in the action. Padrissa also makes abundant stage use of the chorus, who depict souls or demons. With its stunning effects, expert lighting and video projections, the production grabs the viewer from the very start.
