About this show
Step into a world where music has the power to move mountains, soften hearts and even challenge death itself. When Eurydice is lost to the underworld, Orpheus refuses to give up on his love. Armed with nothing but his music and unwavering determination, he embarks on a daring quest that brings him face to face with fate, monsters and even the gods themselves. Follow Orpheus on his incredible journey to the underworld, where love, courage and music collide in an unforgettable reimagining of this timeless myth performed by teenagers from Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.
