Pinchgut 2010 - Haydn's L'anima del filosofo
 Orpheus and Euridice Box Office is now open!
L'anima del filosofo is an opera in Italian in four acts by Joseph Haydn, the last he ever wrote.
The libretto, by Carlo Francesco Badini, is based on the myth of Orpheus and
Eurydice as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
The story of Orpheus has fascinated composers and librettists over the
centuries. Pinchgut presented Monteverdi's wonderful version of the story
in 2004 (Orfeo) to wide acclaim. In 2010, we are delighted to present the first
production of Haydn's version to Australian audiences.
Haydn's Orpheus will open on Thursday 2 December 2010 for four nights only - 2, 4, 5 & 7 December. Join our newsletter list to find out more about the opera, the production and the cast. To receive newsletters simply join our email list or call Anna on (02) 9389 8117.
The cast and crew for L'anima del filosofo, includes soprano Elena
Xanthoudakis as Eurydice and the Spirit, tenor Andrew Goodwin as Orpheus and baritone Derek Welton as Creon. Read more in our August Newsletter. Photo of Derek Welton in Aulis Sallinen's The King goes forth to France, Gulidhall School of Music and Drama, 2009. Photo by Nobby Clark
