This work will be brought to the scene by the Camerata de Caracas, under the direction of Isabel Palacios teacher.
Monteverdi used the libretto by Alessandro Striggio, who in turn chose to compose a beautiful story that is divided into a prologue and five acts texts of the "Metamorphoses" of Ovid and "The Georgics" of Virgil.
Orpheus with his lyre, love with the beautiful Euridice, fascinates and enchants the creatures of hell to bring back his beloved.
