English Touring Opera: Orpheus and Eurydice

Eternal love, with a price to pay.

Orpheus, grief-stricken musician and son of one of the immortal muses, strikes a deal with the Gods to rescue his dead love, Eurydice. But passing the goddesses of vengeance and descending to the Underworld comes at a price - Orpheus must resist the temptation to look at Eurydice until they return to the surface, or risk an eternity without her.

A timeless story of ill-fated love is brought to life in English Touring Opera’s new production of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Gluck’s most popular work, Orpheus and Eurydice marked a change of pace for opera, celebrating the myth of Orpheus through the power of the voice and profound theatricality.
