Orphée & Eurydice
By Christoph Willibald Gluck
June 17, 19m, 23 & 25, 2010
Sung in French with English translations
Their love is so true and complete that not even death can come between Orphée and Eurydice in this hauntingly beautiful, mythical tale of the supernatural. When Eurydice leaves the living, Orphée is given the chance to bring her back from the Underworld with one condition – he must promise not to look at his beloved until they return to Earth. But will her faith be strong enough to follow him – even when she fears his love is lost?
With stirring melodies of love, longing and redemption, this production marks the Opera Company Premiere of this classic work in the ideally-suited, intimate venue of the Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater.
