Once again arrived at Phx convention Ctr/ Symphony Hall. Opera is Orfeo Ed Euridice, sung in Italian with english supertitles.  Premiered in Vienna 10/5/1762.  Composer Chris Gluck 1714-1787).
Story of a young man who loses his wife. He plans to take his life in order to join her. The goddess of love is moved by his despair.  He is allowed to go to the underworld to claim her. There is one one condition; he must not look at her or speak to her  until they have returned to the upper world. So.......... hmmm
