帝王会所

The ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, who attempts to harness the power of music to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the underworld, has inspired composers since opera鈥檚 earliest days. Rising American composer Matthew Aucoin now carries that tradition into the 21st century with a captivating new take on the story鈥攁 product of the Met鈥檚 commissioning program.

With a libretto by MacArthur 鈥淕enius Grant鈥� recipient Sarah Ruhl, adapted from her acclaimed 2003 play, the opera reimagines the familiar tale from Eurydice鈥檚 point of view. Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin oversees the momentous Met premiere from the podium, leading Aucoin鈥檚 evocative music and an immersive new staging by Mary Zimmerman. Soprano Erin Morley sings the title role, opposite baritone Joshua Hopkins as Orpheus and countertenor Jakub J贸zef Orli艅ski as his otherworldly alter-ego. Bass-baritone Nathan Berg is Eurydice鈥檚 father and fellow resident of the underworld, with tenor Barry Banks as Hades himself.
