Opera review: Orfeo ed Euridice, Civic Theatre, Tallaght

[rating]4[/rating]

Orfeo of Greek myth was the brave minstrel who dared to go where few had ventured to rescue his beloved Eurydice, armed only with his lyre and musical skills. Irish National Opera opened their 2019 programme at the far reaches of Dublin’s suburbs with a revival of Gluck’s 18th century Italian version of the ancient myth in a modern venue in Tallaght.
