This is the opera that was revived in 1894 for the late Dame Clara Butt. The action takes place in Greece, in the Nether Regions and the time is Antiquity, Eurtdice has been bitten by a serpent and is dead, Her husband, Orpheus, sadly weeps at the tomb. The God of Love takes pity on Orpheus and tells him that he may descend into Hades and seek the shade of Euridice in Pluto’s dark kingdom. But there is one condition. Orpheus, if he would bring his bride back to the upper regions again, must return to earth without looking at her face. Orpheus with his lute, wins admission through the gates of Hades and in the Valley of the Blest he finds his Euridice. He prays her to follow him, but he never looks at her face, She follows him out of the valley and Orpheus still leads her upwards, never turning his face.

In a cave, almost in sight of the Land of the Living, she cries out and weeps because Orpheus is so indifferent to her. At last he can resist it no more. He turns and gazes on the face of his beloved, and she sinks lifeless to the ground. Orpheus is about to kill himself when the God of Love, who has watched the scene, appears and, touched by Orpheus’s suffering, he waves his hand and brings Euridice to life again. 10.45 Reserved 10.50 Musical miscellany 11. 0 CLOSE DOWN aly/, DUNEDIN 1140 k.c. 263m. | 6.
