Gluck's Armide is one of the masterpieces of the 18th century, intense and psychologically complex yet grand in its proportions. With this opera, Gluck both looks back to the traditions of lyric tragedy established by Lully and anticipates the romanticism of Berlioz and Wagner. A truly extraordinary cast brings Gluck's ravishing music to life. The New York Baroque Dance Company, under the direction of Artistic Director Catherine Turocy, creates the visual spectacle in this concert production with dance, chorus, and orchestra. Sung in French with English surtitles.
