Die Oper von den Schwetzinger Festspielen ist im Rahmen des 3sat-Festspielsommers 2011 zu sehen. Ab 2. Juni besucht 3sat große Klassik-Musikfestivals und zeigt renommierte Orchester und Dirigenten sowie Solisten der Weltelite zur besten Sendezeit. Man kann sich durchaus fragen, warum Willibald Gluck zur Hochzeit des späteren habsburgischen Kaisers Joseph II. mit Maria Josepha von Bayern 1765 ausgerechnet eine Oper rund um die Entfremdung zwischen Liebenden und Egoismus komponierte. In der Oper versucht Odysseus' Sohn Telemaco, den Helden von Troja zurückzuholen. Odysseus wird jedoch von Circe, die Odysseus liebt, gewaltsam festgehalten. In der Koproduktion der Schwetzinger Festspiele mit dem Theater Basel und dem Staatstheater Nürnberg singen unter anderen David DQ Lee, Tomasz Zagórski und Agneta Eichenholz. Es spielt das Freiburger Barockorchester unter der Leitung von Anu Tali.
