The marriage of Orpheus and Eurydice is over: Eurydice is bored to death at home, while the rather untalented violinist Orpheus gropes his pupils. Eurydice takes an interest in the virile Aristeus, who turns out to be Pluto, ruler of the underworld. He takes her to his dark realm. Orpheus remains behind, rejoicing at his wife's departure. But he hasn't reckoned with public opinion, which, in the spirit of bourgeois decency, calls on Orpheus to go to Olympus and assert his claim to the gods for the return of his wife.

‘Do not get used to our suffering’ implored Olena Zelenska in 2024, reminding the world about the ongoing war in Ukraine. The Mothers of Kherson is a response to the appeal. It was co-produced by the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in New York, two institutions that have been actively supporting the embattled nation since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. One of their joint projects is the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra led by conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson, who has also been involved in the process of developing the new opera.
