Silent Opera presents one of the earliest operas, Monteverdi's 1607 tale of Orfeus as he descends to Hell in search of his deceased wife, Euridice. Here, the audience are offered a chance to travel to the Underworld with him. They are provided with wireless headphones,which deliver the soundworld directly into their ears, bringing together live singing and select instrumentalists, mixed with a pre-recorded orchestra. (Composer Louis d'Heudieres has composed a new orchestration for the opera's ambience, plus a full new ending to the show.) The director is Daisy Evans; designs by Kat Heath.
