The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is an honest story of the human condition and trusting one’s partner. I think that it is one that everyone can relate to: love, hope, grief, but especially music. This will be an interdisciplinary work that explores music and movement across history and genres (i.e., opera, musical theatre, instrumental). I want to tell the story while also showcasing other works that have also found inspiration in this myth. Examples like Hadestown and Orfeo immediately come to mind, but I want to comb the archives and find what else is out there.
