English Touring Opera: Orpheus And Eurydice

English Touring Opera: Orpheus And Eurydice

Presented by Saffron Hall

Tickets from £16

Price includes a commission of £1.00

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 brought to life in ETO’s new production of Orpheus and Eurydice. Gluck’s most popular work, it marked a change of pace for opera, celebrating the myth of Orpheus through the power of the voice and profound theatricality.
