Anne Sofie Von Otter and Paul Groves star in this visionary presentation of Christoph Gluck's 1767 opera, here staged by renowned director Robert Wilson. In addition to incorporating a troupe of dancers, this version of Alceste features the English Baroque Soloists, a period orchestra performing the score with era-appropriate instruments; they're also accompanied by the Monteverdi Choir. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
