Beschreibung
The Orpheus myth is recorded in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Books IX and X, and Virgil’s Georgics, Book IV. Badini’s libretto, however, is not simply a re-telling of the Classical myth but rather reads the myth through the prism of the European Enlightenment, hence the superposition of the original title of the opera. The chorus is employed throughout the opera as in Classical Greek tragedy.
