The ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, who attempts to harness the power of music to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the underworld, has inspired composers since opera’s earliest days. Brilliant American composer Matthew Aucoin now carries that tradition into the 21st century with a captivating new take on the story—a product of the Met’s commissioning program. With a libretto by Sarah Ruhl, adapted from her acclaimed 2003 play, the opera reimagines the familiar tale from Eurydice’s point of view. Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads Aucoin’s evocative music and an immersive new staging by Mary Zimmerman. Soprano Erin Morley sings the title role, opposite baritone Joshua Hopkins as Orpheus and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński as his otherworldly alter-ego. Bass-baritone Nathan Berg is Eurydice’s father and fellow resident of the underworld, with tenor Barry Banks as Hades himself.

奧菲斯試圖利用音樂的力量，從地府拯救自己的深愛的尤麗狄絲的古希臘神話故事，從最早期的歌劇開始已經成為作曲家的靈感泉源。由美國大都會歌劇院的委約的美國作曲家馬修．奧庫安 (Matthew Aucoin) 現將該傳統帶到廿一世紀，並以動人心弦的全新角度演繹這經典故事。歌劇劇本由莎拉．魯爾 (Sarah Ruhl) 撰寫，改編自她自己廣受好評的2003年的劇作，將家傳戶曉的故事以尤麗狄絲的角度重新塑造。雅尼克‧尼澤 - 塞甘 (Yannick Nézet-Séguin) 擔任指揮，帶出奧庫安令人回味的樂章，瑪麗辛默曼 (Mary Zimmerman) 負責迷人的舞台設計。女高音艾琳．莫爾利 (Erin Morley) 擔當女主角，男中音喬舒亞．霍普金斯 (Joshua Hopkins) 演出奧菲斯，而賈可伯．約瑟夫．奧林斯基 (Jakub Józef Orliński) 則飾演的奧菲絲的「另我」。低音男中音納森．伯格 (Nathan Berg) 飾演尤麗狄絲於地府的父親，而男高音巴利．班克斯 (Barry Banks) 飾演哈帝斯。
