English Touring Opera: Gluck: Orpheus and Eurydice
Hackney Empire, E8 1EJ , [Venue Details]Eternal love, with a price to pay. Orpheus cannot accept that Eurydice is gone. Rather than face his grief, he sets out to defy the course of fate.
When the Gods offer him a glimmer of hope, he ventures into the Underworld. But what begins as a journey to bring her back becomes a descent into the architecture of his own mind.
In this new version of the myth, Orpheus’ search becomes a strange and shifting world where memory and reality collide.
Composer Leo Grant conveys this musically through new instrumental and electronic re-arrangements and re-compositions of Gluck’s material. These are woven into the original, blurring the boundaries between old and new.
Orpheus & Eurydice is brought to life in a powerful new retelling of this timeless story of love and loss, with a dynamic ensemble of singers and dancers under the direction of Iwan Davies and Jenny Ogilvie. Together, they bring fresh energy to an enduring myth of love, loss, and the desire to turn back time.
