Experience a Rarely Performed Gluck Opera at The Wertheim

Radiant, heartfelt, and passionately dramatic, Paride ed Elena is a rarely performed jewel from Gluck’s revolutionary operatic legacy. Set in the golden world of myth, the opera traces the impassioned courtship of Paris, prince of Troy, and the legendary Helen of Sparta—an ill-fated love destined to ignite the Trojan War.

With Gluck’s resplendent score—filled with lyrical beauty, emotional immediacy, and elegant restraint—Paride ed Elena offers a spellbinding journey into the heart of ancient legend.
