Orfeo ed Euridice - INO

Directed by Emma Martin

A grief-stricken musician goes to the underworld in search of his wife. He is allowed to retrieve her on one condition – that he not look at her until they are back on earth. Gluck’s most famous opera was a radical departure from the musical dramas of the day. A revolutionary new mix of text, music and dance, it was the pinnacle of his pursuit for beautiful simplicity and dramatic truth. Sharon Carty delivers a compelling performance as the legendary Orpheus in this intimate production by the new Irish National Opera.
