Orpheus is the quintessential symbol of the artistic condition, bringing hope and courage to wounded souls. Sheltered by a favola in musica, this masterpiece of the new genre that is born, opera, not only tells us about the myth of Orpheus who loses Eurydice after saving her from hell, but also expresses the magical power of music by its ability to fill with peace and uplift the world around us.

The poet, musician and prophet fight against weakness, in a darkened world, constantly threatened by death. He tries the impossible to turn around the only certainty of humanity, which is the invincible border between life and death. In his underworld, Orpheus tries to face his fears, believing that by fighting he can win back his deceased Eurydice, which represents his brief moment of happiness. The beginning seems liberating, but the path through the underworld brings Orfeo back to his fears and his lonely existence as an artist facing the human condition.
