Orfeo

About the show

Aristaeus, Orpheus’s brother, also loves Eurydice, making Orpheus jealous. Aristaeus rejects Autonoe, who disguises herself as a gypsy and enlists Achilles and Hercules to help. Orpheus plans Eurydice’s murder, but she dies from a snakebite while trying to flee Aristaeus. Orpheus descends to the underworld and persuades Pluto to release her, provided he does not look back before they reach the living world. Orpheus turns and loses Eurydice again. Aristaeus accepts Autonoe, and they marry.
