Euridice
The things we love are worth reviving. Euridice by Caccini was published in 1600 and is the oldest surviving opera score. A telling of the myth of Orpheus and his journey to the Underworld to find his beloved Eurydice, this timeliness story reminds us of the power of music to change us, heal us, and enrich our lives.

Orlando
When the battle is not on the battlefield...
Orlando returns from war, laden with PTSD and a longing for love and completion in all the wrong places. He awakes within the confines of a surreal mental institution, where he interacts with various patients, each struggling with their own pasts, desires, and - of course - their relationships with one another. Through drug induced manias of grandeur and moments of self destruction, our valiant soldier undergoes a different battle: one within himself.
With Dorian Baroque, conducted by Dylan Sauerwald and directed by Brittany Goodwin. Costumes by Alexandria Hoffman. Set by Jóhanna Ásgeirsdóttir.
