The opera Orpheus and Eurydice was composed by Christoph Willibald Gluck according to the libretto by Ranieri de Calzabigi and it belongs to the genre of azione teatrale, which includes an opera on a mythological theme with refrains and dance.

The work was premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna on October 5, 1762, in the presence of Empress Maria Theresa. Orpheus and Eurydice was Gluck's first reform opera, in which he tried to replace the complexity of the plot and the overly complex music of the opera serie with noble simplicity, both musical and dramatic.    

The work is based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, a story about love and loss, but also about how much someone is willing to sacrifice for their love. Orpheus proves that love and feelings should be believed, even when it seems really impossible because he defies the laws of life and death.                                                                                                                                                                       

The opera remained Gluck's most popular work and was one of the most influential for the next generation of composers. Variations of the plot he worked on - an underground rescue mission in which the hero must control or conceal his feelings, can be found in Mozart's Magic Flute, Beethoven's Fideli, Wagner's Rhine's Gold.

What is our modern Orpheus like?

Our modern Orpheus is a man who seeks meaning in the current nonsense, in his thoughts echoes that fear bites the human soul. His temptations today are not evil fury that sucks his blood, but human views that question and judge him like a jury. Their languages ​​and thoughts are what poison his faith - the belief that he can truly overcome himself… (Anica Tomić, director)
