L'Orfeo

Author(s): Music by Claudio Monteverdi, text by Alessandro Striggio Company: Staatsoper Hannover Running time: 2h 30min approx

When he sings, the animals stop and listen; Orpheus can literally melt stone. To find Eurydice, who disappears on their wedding day, this master of harmony must charm the underworld with his musical talent.

Orpheus’s appeals convince Pluto to free Eurydice, under certain conditions. But when this gifted and infallible hero fails, he must live on with the consequences.
