Orpheus and Eurydice

Approved

Orfeo ed Euridice began Gluck’s revolution in music as his score moved the focus from virtuosic performance to music that reflected the depth of emotion and drama seen on stage. De’Calzabigi’s libretto uses the Greek myth as Orfeo embarks on a journey to rescue his deceased wife, Euridice, from the underworld, however all is not so simple. The Gods, via Amor, make this no easy task. Orfeo must not gaze upon Euridice or explain to her the reason why while on their journey out of the underworld, for if he does, she will be lost to him forever.

The production is made possible with generous production sponsorship from the John Pollard Foundation.
