## The Story Behind the Staging
In 2014, the Teatro Real in Madrid witnessed the outstanding success of Krysztof Warlikowski's newly produced staging of *Alceste*, under the musical direction of Ivor Bolton (premiered on February 7, 2014). A sumptuous hall, a sovereign aristocrat, and an explosive TV-interview set the stage. The role of Alceste, presented to the Madrid audience, bears a striking resemblance to Lady Diana.
The "Parisian-version" in French had its world premiere in 1777, ten years after the debut premiere. This new release is a "must have" for every Gluck fan, aside from the legendary Gardiner/Wilson DVD (EMI 1999). Warlikowski's theatre delves into the depths and secrets of love and desire, hitting the viewers hard.
## Tracklist
- Opera in three acts by Christoph Willibald Gluck, with a libretto (in Italian) by Raniero da Calzabigi, based on the Greek myth as presented in Euripides' tragedy of the same name.
