DESCRIPTION:The ancient Greek myth of Orpheus\, who attempts to harness the
power of music to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the underworld\, has in
spired composers since opera’s earliest days. Rising American composer Matt
hew Aucoin now carries that tradition into the 21st century with a captivat
ing new take on the story—a product of the Met’s commissioning program.\n\n
\nWith a libretto by MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient Sarah Ruhl\, adapte
d from her acclaimed 2003 play\, the opera reimagines the familiar tale fro
m Eurydice’s point of view. Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the momentous Met
premiere from the podium\, leading Aucoin’s evocative music and an immersi
ve new staging by Mary Zimmerman. Soprano Erin Morley sings the title role\
, opposite baritone Joshua Hopkins as Orpheus and countertenor Jakub Józef
OrliĆski as his otherworldly alter-ego. Bass-baritone Nathan Berg is Eurydi
ce’s father and fellow resident of the underworld\, with tenor Barry Banks
as Hades himself.\n\n\nAdmission $18 (non-OHIO students & children $8)\n\nO
