This is not just a performance.
This is a journey.
Inspired by the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, ORFEO begins at sunset with celebration and music — a wedding feast beneath the open sky. As twilight deepens, the story shifts. Joy turns to loss. The audience will travel with us into the Underworld for a powerful nocturnal sojourn of love, longing and daring.
And then…
As the first light breaks on Midsummer morning, we rise again — together — to greet the dawn and share breakfast at sunrise.
One night.
One myth.
One unforgettable experience.
This spectacular and physically demanding production will test your stamina, ignite your creativity and immerse you in theatre like you’ve never experienced before.
