The history of castrati is always a conversation-provoking topic, and for good reason! Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, who currently stars as Orfeo in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, was kind enough to dive into the history of castrati, the origins of the role of Orfeo, and more as we prepare for the final performance of the season on June 8! Catch this stunning production on stage just two more times this season. J. David Jackson conducts. Book your tickets now: bit.ly/3NQMxtE #MetOpera #NYC #Pu
