Details

Sung in English. Run time: 2hrs 5mins. Based on the Orpheus myth that fascinated Renaissance artists and musicians, Euridice weaves the translucent 16th century vocal writing of the first ever opera composer, Jacopo Peri, into a distinctively modern opera by Stephen Oliver. Performed in a new semi-staged production with a cast of 18 singers and an onstage ensemble of eight players, it is an enthralling piece of theatre combining old with new, ideally suited to a cast of young singers.
