The myth of Orpheus is perhaps the primordial opera story. It was not without reason that Christoph Willibald Gluck drew on this myth when he wanted to thoroughly reform the opera art form. His Orfeo ed Euridice, both sober and poignant, continues to make a deep impression on audiences today.

When Orfeo loses his cherished Euridice, he sets off for the Underworld to find her again. The Furies are moved by his musical talent and sincere emotion. Orfeo is allowed to take Euridice with him, on one condition: he must not turn to look at her on his way back up, to see if she is still following him. This proves too difficult: Orfeo casts a fateful glance at Euridice — losing her once again.
