Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this art history class:

This is a one time FREE course

This fall the Lyric Opera of Chicago, in collaboration with the Joffrey Ballet, is mounting an exciting new production of the 1774 Paris version of Christoph Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice. But the myth of Orpheus journeying to the Underworld to find his deceased wife Eurydice has inspired composers from the first surviving opera by Jacopo Peri in 1600 to the Canadian composer John Robertson’s recent Orpheus masque, premiered in 2015.

Music experts Linda Austern and David Buch will engage in discussion with Lyric performers and artistic staff to reflect upon the importance of Orpheus in the history of opera and how this story of love, loss, and loss yet again continues to resonate today.
