In Zurich, conductor Nikolas Harnoncourt realizes his vision of reviving the work of opera pioneer Claudio Monteverdi using historical performance practices, brilliantly staged by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. The Monteverdi cycle brings the composer and his operas back into the public consciousness. In 1978, L’Orfeo is recorded on film.
