Event Description

A timeless journey through love and loss in the depths of the underworld. “Based on the famous Greek myth of the musician Orpheus who conquers the spirits of hell using the power of music to bring his love back from the underworld, this production will take Victoria opera lovers into the world of French baroque music and dance. Partnering with Ballet Victoria , and welcoming back celebrated soprano Suzanne Rigden , this production not only brings to the Royal Stage a new genre of opera to experience, it also will see world renowned Ukrainian-Canadian soprano Andriana Chuchman making her debut with Pacific Opera Victoria as Eurydice..” – Artistic Director Brenna Corner, Pacific Opera Victoria The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has captivated audiences for millennia and remains one of the most retold stories in art and pop culture. Its themes of love, loss, and the peril of looking back have inspired countless adaptations—from operas by Gluck, Offenbach, and Birtwistle to modern retellings like the Broadway hit Hadestown and films such as Black Orpheus and Portrait of a Lady on Fire . Whether reimagined in dance, literature, or even video games, the tragic journey of Orpheus to the underworld in search of his beloved Eurydice continues to resonate as a timeless exploration of grief, hope, and human fallibility .
