Retelling the Orpheus myth from Eurydice's perspective, the opera follows a young woman who dies on her wedding day and descends to the underworld. There she encounters her dead father, who helps her recover memories that the waters of Lethe have washed away. When Orpheus comes to rescue her, Eurydice must choose between returning to life with a husband who cannot truly see her, or remaining in the underworld with the father who understands her.
