a compelling new opera aboit three women in different times and places. The Hours is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham and the Academy Award-winning film adaptation that followed.

The secind setting is Los Angeles in 1949, where Dan and Laura Brown are struggling to conform to a proper mid-century American suburban life.

The opera is set in an idealized Greek countryside and in the mythological underworld. These settings are ore conceptual than geographic, and notions of how they should appear ca (and rightly do) change in every opera.
Music:
Gluck consciously avoided the sheer vvocal fireworks that he felt had compromised the drama of opera during the era of the castrate - male singers who had been surgically altered before puberty to preserve their high voices. Gluck did not originally dispense with castrati, but the castrati role of Orfeo today sung by mezzo-sopranos and countertenors.
