Arias Aloft: Rising Waters, Rising Voices

Midway Artist Studios

In a vivid retelling of the Orpheus myth from his bride’s perspective, composer Matthew Aucoin and librettist Sarah Ruhl’s stunning opera Eurydice follows the titular character as she travels to the underworld on her wedding day. Boston Lyric Opera, together with Opera Grand Rapids, has co-commissioned a new,  intimate orchestral arrangement from Aucoin, acclaimed composer and MacArthur Fellow, and Ruhl, Tony and Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright. This compelling new production, conducted by the composer and directed by Doug Fitch, delves into the profound bonds of family and love – between parents and children, between husband and wife. Eurydice is a resonant story of love’s beauty and brutality – and the power of music to find us in the dark.
