Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Myths may be ancient in their origins, but only the ones that touch people in any age can live on.
The story of Orpheus and the death of his wife, Euridice, dates back more than 2,500 years. He was the greatest poet and musician of Greek myth, who used all his power to bring his wife back to life. But, although he traveled to the underworld to bring her back, he lost her forever on the trip back.
In November, Opera Theater of Pittsburgh presented Christoph Willibald von Gluck's classic opera 'Orpheus and Euridice,' written 250 years ago. The company closes its season this week with a contemporary version of the same myth.
