Tenet opens the 2026-2027 season with a fully-staged performance of Claudio Monteverdi's Orfeo, with projections by designer Camilla Tassi. Considered the earliest complete musical drama, Orfeo recounts the Orpheus myth through the libretto of Alessandro Striggio. Can Orfeo's beautiful music move Plutone to release Euridice from the Underworld? Join the chorus of Nymphs and Shepherds to watch the tale unfold.
