Pinchgut 2010 - Haydn's L'anima del filosofo

Orpheus and Euridice

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 Euridice 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 in December 2010 (Box office opens in July). Find out more about the opera, the production and the cast via our newsletters. To receive newsletters simply register for our email list or call (02) 9389 8117.

We are delighted to announce the cast and crew for L'anima del filosofo in the just release March Newsletter - as well as lots of other wonderful news. More here


Last December, Pinchgut produced L'Ormindo and has received a brilliant response. Check out the Blog for comments, reviews and photos HERE.

From a L'Ormindo audience member:- "As a regular attendee of Pinchgut productions, my congratulations on the best one ever. I went to the first night and thoroughly enjoyed opera which, not surprisingly, was unknown to me. Everything about the production was brilliant - the singing, the orchestra, the acting and the set."
From a Pinchgut Opera Virgin:- "The opera was delightful and surprisingly relevant. Great Singing and excellent production. I really enjoyed the vitality of the cast and orchestra. I will be attending in the future. " "
