Paris Opera Ballet: Orpheus and Eurydice July 20, 2012

This work marries Gluck's famous opera with the legendary Pina Bausch's fierce and riveting choreography in a stunning study of the fragility of the human condition. First performed by the Paris Opera Ballet in 2005, it weaves music and dance together to tell a complex and ultimately tragic story. Music is performed by the Balthasar-Neumann Ensemble und Chor, and will be sung in German.
