Monteverdi’s Orfeo brings one of opera’s earliest masterpieces to life in a new Ars Lyrica Houston production created in collaboration with the New York Baroque Dance Company. First performed in 1607, Orfeo tells the mythic story of a musician whose extraordinary song moves gods, mortals, and the spirits of the underworld. This landmark production features Grammy Award-winning tenor Karim Sulayman in the title role, with direction and choreography by Catherine Turocy and musical direction by Ars Lyrica Artistic Director Matthew Dirst.
