Orpheus and Euridice: Preview Concert
Stone Nest, W1D 5EZ , [Venue Details]Following the success of their recent production MOURN with Alkanna Graeca, FIGURE, in collaboration with Refound, return to present a preview of their new production, Orpheus and Euridice.
in the ancient Greek legend, Orpheus travels to the underworld to rescue his lost love, Euridice. He is granted the chance to bring her out of the afterlife and back to the world, but on the condition that he does not look back at her while he leads her. At the final moment, Orpheus can no longer resist the temptation, and turns to look at Euridice, tragically losing her again, forever. The story has been told and retold through history, and has been a particular source of inspiration to composers - Orpheus is a musician, and he is able to persuade the gods to let him find his dead lover because his sorrowful songs are so beautiful. Christoph Willibald Gluck’s working of the tale, his 1762 Orfeo ed Euridice, marks a significant moment in the history of opera: a departure from a form in which a narrative serves as a vehicle to showcase music and vocal athleticism, to one which puts the music in service of the drama.
