PARIS OPERA BALLET
Orphée et Eurydice brings flesh and blood to Gluck’s score and creates a permanent dialogue between song and dance dividing each of the main roles in two. Beyond the mythological tale itself, the ballet evokes the fragility of the human condition and plunges into painful introspection.
