Gluck's Demofonte: Theater an der Wien

O akci

Revel in the harmonic clarity and emotional drama of Gluck's early style in this concert version of Demofonte.

Apollo has chosen the young Dircea as the victim of his yearly sacrifice, unaware that she has secretly wed his son Timante. The conflict's outcome is, in part, determined by the actions of the courageous Creusa.
