The ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has inspired opera for centuries—but never like this. Composer and MacArthur fellow Matthew Aucoin and librettist Sarah Ruhl flip the script, placing Eurydice at the heart of the narrative to follow her emotional journey through the underworld and back to herself. The Shepherd School is proud to present the Texas premiere and first-ever university performance of this breathtaking modern classic.
