Conductor: James Levine Production: Mark Morris Featuring: Stephanie Blythe, Danielle de Niese, Heidi Grant Murphy The amazing performance of Mark Morris is once again on stage at the Metropolitan Opera! In the perfect presentation of the world of Gluck, where the choreography is Mark Morris’ and the costumes Isaac Mizrahi’s handiwork, artistic perfection unveils itself in the performance of Stephanie Blythe playing the title role. One of the most significant years in her professional career was 1996 when she sang the role of Miss Quickly in Falstaff instead of Marilyn Horne in the Met. The real breakthrough however came three years later in Händel’s Giulio Cesare when as Cornelia she could show her magnificent mezzo-soprano voice, which has ever since been a subject of amazement, filling the largest of spaces and considered to be the most balanced in the world. Opera singer Danielle de Niese starting her career at the age of 15, born from Sri-Lankan and Dutch parents in Australia in 1980 and raised in Los Angeles, plays the role of Eurydice the beloved wife of Orpheus. Ms de Niese’s repertoire spreads from Baroque music, through Händel and Mozart to contemporary opera.
