By Philip Glass
Remarkably powerful and emotionally intriguing, Orhpée is set to music that follows the psychological journey of famous French poet Orhpée in Paris, France. Life begins to shadow Orhpée as he comes to fixate on La Princesse, a mysterious woman with dark origins. Obsession consumes Orhpée until, under the spell of desire, he leaves the reality of his life with his wife, Eurydice, for a desperate odyssey to the underworld. Can true love lead Orphée back to Eurydice, or will he be lost to his obsessions?
Philip Glass follows the script of Jean Cocteau’s 1949 film Orphée.
