The story of Orpheus and Eurydice will be staged at Seville’s Teatro de la Maestranza next month.

It is adapted from the piece written by Christoph Willibald Gluck in the 18th century and will include starring roles for opera singers Carlos Mena, Roberta Invernizzi and Maria Espada.

Taking place on May 22nd, the concert will feature the Seville Baroque Orchestra led by violinist and director Vincent Onofri.

Orpheus is one of the most well-known characters in Greek mythology, known for his ability to charm all living things with his musical ability.

When his wife Eurydice dies, the poet and musician shows the depth of his love for her by travelling to the Underworld on a rescue mission.

It is Gluck’s most famous work and continues to win over audiences today thanks to a moving plot and beautiful composition.

Tickets for the show cost between €22 and €43 (£19.20 and £37.50). People can buy passes online now or wait until April 25th to purchase them via the theatre’s box office.

The performance will begin at 20:30 local time.
