The classic Greek myth has been retold many times, and set by many composers. Opera Animata takes Gluck's famous setting and brings it to life with a twist.
Girl meets girl. Girls fall in love. On their wedding day, Euridice is bitten by a snake while picking flowers and disappears to the underworld. Orfeo, using her heart as her compass and Amore (Love) as her guide, travels to the land of the dead to save her true love.
Opera Animata presents Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice as a semi-staged production with chamber orchestra in three acts.
Orfeo ed Euridice is directed by Joe McCormack-Estrella. Lead roles will be sung by Sarah Reynolds (Orfeo), Jenny Ohrstrom (Euridice), and Alyssa Brode (Amor).
