Gluck. ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE

Daegu Opera House (South Korea)

„Orpheus and Eurydice“ by Ch. W. Gluck, known as the opera reformer, is based on the Greco-Roman myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The story turns out happily where Orpheus, unable to forget his suddenly deceased wife Eurydice, descends to the underworld to find her and moves the god with his song, allowing him to return to the earth with his beloved.

Noteworthy is the use of water to represent the worlds of the living and the dead, showcasing the essence of traditional Baroque opera to the audience.
