After their critically acclaimed debut production of “Don Giovanni” in 2016 and “The Marriage of Figaro” in 2017, Eternity Opera is returning with a concert performance of Monteverdi’s 1607 opera “Orfeo”.

Based on the Greek legend of Orpheus, this opera tells the story of Orpheo’s descent to the underworld and his fruitless attempt to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to the living.

Now over 400 years old, “Orfeo” has lost none of its beauty and power and is a milestone in the evolution of opera.

Performed in English by a lineup of top New Zealand singers, this will be conducted by Simon Romanos, with support from the Eternity Renaissance Orchestra, led by Anne Loeser.
