About this Event
The DePaul Opera Theatre presents Orfeo ed Euridice composed by Christoph Gluck.
Gluck‘s elegant eighteenth-century account of the Orpheus myth is filled with sublime melodies and numerous dance episodes. The gods agree to let Orpheus rescue his wife, Eurydice, from the underworld, but there is a catch. To be together again, he must lead her out without turning to look back at her or explain the reason why, or she will be lost from him forever.
Craig Trompeter, conductor
Sarah Edgar, director
