One of opera’s most beautiful masterpieces, Gluck’s exquisite drama introduces us to Orpheus,
the poet and musician whose every word and note communicate the most overwhelming love for
his Eurydice. Refusing to accept her death, he courageously journeys to the Underworld to bring
her back to life. The music reaches true heights of eloquence and emotion. Lyric presents
Orphée
et Eurydice
in the Paris version, which contains thrilling ballet sequences that will come to vivid
life under the direction and choreography of the legendary John Neumeier
(pictured above)
. This
highly-anticipated production marks Lyric’s first collaboration with The Joffrey Ballet.
