Oberlin Opera Theater presents Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo"

By Claudio Monteverdi | libretto by Alessandro Striggio Directed by Stephanie Havey Conducted by Christian Capocaccia See where opera all began! Monteverdi’s setting of the mythical tale of Orpheus and his great love Eurydice is the first great master piece of theater with music. Orfeo’s quest to bring back Eurydice from the dead begins as a lover’s lament but ends up a spiritual pursuit—a story of passion and courage, and the complexity of the human spirit. This production is a collaboration of Oberlin Opera Theater and Oberlin Conservatory's Historical Performance program.
