- Summary
- Harry Kupfer's Orfeo is a young everyman in jeans and leather jacket whose beloved Euridice dies in a car accident, so he sets off, electric guitar in hand, to charm the beasts in an inner-city concrete jungle to try to restore her to life. If he can refrain from looking at her on the journey back, he will succeed. But, tragically, he is unable to resist, and she is lost to him forever.
