Orfeo retells the classical myth of the legendary musician whose divine art transcends mortal limitations. When the nymph Euridice falls victim to a serpent's fatal bite, Orfeo descends into the underworld armed only with his lyre and incomparable voice. His performance before Pluto and Proserpina moves even the rulers of the dead to compassion. The opera explores themes of love's transformative power, the redemptive capacity of art, and the tension between human desire and cosmic law. As Orfeo navigates the shadowed realm, he confronts the boundaries between life and death, passion and reason, demonstrating that music possesses a force capable of bending fate itself.
