Eurydice
In the Greek myth, she was a shadowy figure we barely knew. LA Opera is changing that in this new, modernized opera.

About Eurydice
Matthew Aucoin partners with playwright Sarah Ruhl for "Eurydice," a new opera that reimagines ancient mythology for a modern age. This time, the tale unfolds from the heroine's point of view. (Finally, right?)
Tragically killed on her wedding day, a young bride descends into the underworld, where she reconnects with her adoring father. Presented with the opportunity to return to her husband in the world of the living, she must choose between the two men she loves.

If contemporary opera has a rising wunderkind, then Aucoin has to be it.
