Beschreibung

Large octavo. Half brown calf with marbled boards, raised bands on spine in gilt-ruled compartments, titling gilt. [i] (title within architectural border), 2-3 (cast list and contents), 4-138 pp. Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped. Light uniform browning. First performed in Vienna at the Burgtheater on 5 October 1762, in Italian, to a libretto by Ranieri de Calzabigi, and in Paris at the Opéra on 2 August 1774, in French, to a libretto by Pierre Louis Moline after Calzabigi. "Orfeo ed Euridice was the first of Gluck s three so-called reform operas written with Ranieri de Calzabigi (the other two were Alceste and Paride ed Elena) in which a noble simplicity in the action and the music was intended to replace the complicated plots and florid musical style of opera seria."
