Orfeo ed Euridice

About the show

At Euridice’s tomb, Orfeo mourns his wife. Amore lets him travel to the Underworld and bring her back, on condition that he not look at her before they return to earth. Orfeo wins passage through the Furies with his singing and finds Euridice among the blessed spirits. On the way back, Euridice is distressed that Orfeo will not look at or explain himself to her. When she refuses to continue, Orfeo turns to her and she dies again. He grieves and prepares to kill himself, but Amore intervenes, restores Euridice to life, and reunites the couple.
