"Baying creatures of the underworld, the descent Apollo from on high and woven through all, the power of music so beauteous it charms even the gods"
Join Orpheus on his perilous journey to Pluto's realm where he, ravaged by grief, seeks to rescue his beloved wife, Euridice. Accompanied only by Hope and his magical lyre, Orpheus sets out upon a timeless tale of Love so strong it vies to overcome even Death. But will Pluto heed his pleas? Will Orpheus' own weakness prove his very undoing?
As vibrant today as it was in 1607, the world's first true opera bursts into life on the ADC stage in a brand new English translation. Brought to you by Cambridge's finest young singers and a large, dazzling period-instrument orchestra, Monteverdi's music alternately delights and twists at the heart, by turns ethereal and virtuosic.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness Orfeo at it's best - fully staged and spectacular.
More information, cast lists and visuals can be found at the production website: http://orfeo.cambridge.googlepages.com/
