Göteborg Baroque
According to the story, Orpheus must bring back his beloved Eurydice from the underworld. He asks Karon, the ferryman, in vain to help him cross the river Styx. Karon refuses and Orpheus crosses the river alone. Göteborg Baroque’s L’Orfeo is an opera faithful to its time while also exhibiting a clear connection to the present. It is difficult not to draw parallels to the current refugee catastrophe in the Mediterranean.
