Beginning from tomorrow (1st Jan 2017), Opera Platform are offering a free chance to view Barry Kosky's new staging of Monteverdi's Orfeo ('Orpheus') from the Komische Oper, Berlin

This seems likely to be a very unconventional staging, and is not one for musical purists - indeed, a second composer has been credited in addition to Monteverdi. But if your physical hunger has been sated over the NY holiday, while leaving your inquisitive and cultural hunger still unabated, this is at least likely to provoke, stimulate, and even perhaps delight. Whatever your viewpoint, Kosky is the world's Number 1 director at the present moment, and his shows are always visually and dramatically interesting.
