“L’Orfeo” is a work that is considered to be “the root of all opera”.  Based on the Greek tale, Monteverdi’s 1607 opera tells the story of the legendary musician Orpheus and his descent to the Underworld to recover his beloved Euridice.

Colorful orchestration, costumes, lighting, projections and dance will bring to life this deeply moving tale.
