An interactive presentation that explores queer representation in opera and the classics, in relation to Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice.About this Event
In a sneak-peek preview of NEMPAC Opera Project'sOrfeo ed Euridice at the North End Library, community members will meet artists from the production, and enjoy a selection of songs and duets performed live from Gluck’s famous score. Entitled "Lust and Tragedy: Queer Representation in Opera and Greco-Roman Mythology," this event includes an interactive presentation that explores queer representation in opera and the classics. Additionally, we will present how the production design elements in our interpretation will create a beautiful and nostalgic 90’s era gay club scene where music and community heals all wounds. This event is free and open to the public and is generously supported by Friends of the North End Library.
