About

Orfeo ed Euridice is an opera by Christoph Willibald Gluck, first performed in Vienna in 1762. It retells the ancient myth of Orpheus descending into the underworld to reclaim Eurydice. With this work, Gluck broke from baroque convention, prioritizing dramatic expression over vocal display - a shift that shaped opera for generations.
