We recommend arriving early at check-in to secure your ticket on the night of the event!In Greek mythology, Eurydice was a shadowy figure we barely knew. Let’s change that. Composer and conductor Matthew Aucoin partners with playwright and fellow MacArthur “genius” Sarah Ruhl to reimagine Orpheus and Eurydice for the modern age. This time, the opera unfolds from the heroine’s point of view. Tragically killed on her wedding day, a young bride descends into the underworld, where she reconnects with her adoring father. Presented with the opportunity to return to her husband in the world of the living, she must now choose between the two men she loves.Don’t miss the world premiere of this exceptional work commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera and LA Opera.Presented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative.Image: Courtesy of LA Opera
