Description
[Machine Translation] The director Herbert Wernicke studied Offenbach's (1819-1880) bizarre world in minute detail and calculated all the effects of the stage direction, equipment, costumes, and lighting to create his stage production. In this video, you will be able to fully enjoy the magnificent stage he created. The storyline of this opera is not unfamiliar to opera fans. It is fundamentally the same as Gluck's Orfeo and Euridice. Orpheus is in search of his wife Eurydice, who has gone to the underworld by mistake. When they are finally reunited, they are told that they must never look back. In Gluck's work, the couple is united by a strong love, but in Offenbach's work, the couple's love becomes suspicious. Both Orfeo and Euridice have other lovers, and they would like to take this opportunity to break up if possible. But since there are physical considerations involved, he decides to pick up his wife for the time being. Orfeo is a man who is very serious about his wife, so you can guess the result of his actions. Wernicke takes such a crazy story and turns it into a mess in the world of the first half of the 20th century. Hell is a beer hall. The "public opinion (true intention)" is cleaning up the mess amongst the ladies and gentlemen who are trying to keep up appearances. The satire is so effective that it is hard to laugh out loud. Would you like to enjoy such an opera?

Description in Japanese
オッフェンバック: 歌劇「地獄のオルフェ」 / オペラ
オッフェンバック(1819-1880)の描く奇天烈な世界を、微細に研究し、演出、装置、衣装、照明に至るまで全ての効果を計算しつくした上で、舞台を作り上げた演出家ヘルベルト・ヴェルニケ。この映像では彼の造りだした見事な舞台を存分に楽しむことができるはずです。このお話の粗筋は、オペラ・ファンなら知らない人はいないでしょう。あのグルックのオルフェオとエウリディーチェと根本は同じ。誤って冥界へ行ってしまった妻エウリディーチェを求めて、後を追うオルフェウス。ようやく再会できた2人を待つのは、「決して振り向いてはいけない」という試練でした。グルックの作品では、強い愛によって結ばれていたこの夫婦、オッフェンバックの作品になると、それがどうにも怪しい雰囲気に・・・。何しろ、オルフェオにもエウリディーチェにも他に恋人がいたりするので、この機会にできることなら別れてしまいたいと思っているのです。しかし体面があるので、とりあえず妻を迎えに行くか。と重い腰をあげるオルフェオですから、その結果は推して知るべし。そんなアブナイ物語をヴェルニケは20世紀前半の世界に置き換え、ハチャメチャにしてしまいます。地獄はなんとビアホール。体面を取り繕う紳士淑女に交じって、お掃除しているのが「世論(本音)」なのですから。あまりにも風刺が効きすぎていて大笑いできないところがご愛嬌。そんなオペラ、あなたもいかがですか?
