BOP is pleased to announce its 2008 spring opera: Christoph Willibald Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. First performed in 1762, the opera recounts the distraught Orpheus' journey to the underworld to recover his beloved Eurydice. With this work, Gluck singlehandedly heralded the arrival of a new age in operatic history. Departing from ornamental vocal writing in favor of a radical new musical and dramatic expressiveness, Gluck imbued the operatic art form with unprecedented power and depth. BOP is delighted to present this, his most celebrated masterpiece.

Orfeo ed Euridice will be performed March 14-16, 2008, in Alumnae Hall.
