Opera

Here are some of the pictures I took of the Opera- "Orpheo ed Euredice"-- that I designed.

There were 2 Amores and 2 Euredices who alternated nights (so that is why you see 2 different girls in the same costume)

Enjoy!

We open the opera and Orpheo's wife Euredice is Dead!

He gets a magic Lyre from the Goddess Amore to open the gates of the underworld and go in and get her.

He finds her and leads her out of the caves, but can't look at her or she will dissappear.

She is upset because he won't look at her-- alas he doesn't love her anymore.

He can't look at her, and he can't tell her, or the spell will be broken.

Finally they can't stand it anylonger- they look at each other.....

and she dies!

Amore Comes back to raise her from the dead--

And they live happily ever after!!

Don't you just love a good old Greek myth??
