Monteverdi’s icon­ic opera artic­u­lates Orpheus’ attempts to soothe the keep­ers of Hades with his voice and his lyre. He is allowed to release his beloved Eurydice from the realm of the dead, on the one con­di­tion that he does not turn around to look at her. Leonardo García Alarcón and his musi­cians are the fit­ting per­form­ers for this sto­ry about life and death, long­ing and recollection.
