The Myth of Orpheus
The Greek myth of Orpheus occupies a significant place in Western culture, with portrayals in countless forms of art including poetry, film, opera, music, and painting. Most of these focus on Orpheus as a formidable musician and his descent into the underworld to bring his wife back from death. Yet there are other chapters in the myth such as his intrepid journeys with Jason and the Argonauts and his tragic, brutal death at the hands of priestesses of Dionysius.
The myth touches on themes of love and loss, the tension between fate and free will, and the corrosive power of doubt.
Our re-telling of the Orpheus myth evokes Ancient Greece through dance and spoken choruses, while music from across the ages by John Blow, C.W. Gluck, Morton Lauridsen, Eleanor Daly, and many others convey the vivid universality of the myth of Orpheus.
