About The Concert
The season finale marks a first in the 117-year history of Princeton University Concerts – an interdisciplinary presentation uniting music and dance. The greatest choreographer of his generation and perhaps the greatest countertenor of any generation continue a partnership that began with Gluck’s Orfeo at the Metropolitan Opera. The program includes the grief-stricken Orfeo’s aria “Che Faro,” the plaintive beauty of which moves Amor to bring Eurydice back to life. At Princeton, Mr. Morris, who insists upon live music for all of his Company’s performances, will have one of the most intimate settings ever for his work.
