Background: Gluck's best-known work has been part of the operatic repertory for nearly two centuries, today performed principally in the more familiar 1762 Vienna version, Orfeo ed Euridice, sung in Italian. The later Orphée et Euridice was revised (in French) and extended for Paris in 1774.

The rôle of Orphée is performed by an haut-contre, or high tenor voice. This was the most popular version of the 18th and early 19th century, but is only now receiving its full due. Other principal changes include a full-length ballet with its popular Dance of the Blessed Spirits.
