Orpheus and Eurydice
Christoph Willibald Gluck – Viennese Original Version of 1762

The Concordia Mundi Ensemble presents Gluck’s masterpiece Orpheus and Eurydice in German, in the rarely performed Viennese original version of 1762 — including its conciliatory original ending, the famous “Viennese ending.”

Experience the ancient myth of Orpheus in its most comforting form: Cupid intervenes, the power of love triumphs over death, and Eurydice returns to Orpheus. In a historically inspired staging, this moving musical theatre unfolds between the Baroque and Classical periods — clear, direct, and profoundly human.

The crypt is pleasantly temperate in every season.
