Haymarket Opera Company and The Newberry Consort join forces to present Claudio Monteverdi’s 1607 operatic masterpiece, L’Orfeo. Following a 2025 presentation of the oldest surviving opera, Jacopo Peri’s Euridice, Chicago's acclaimed historical-performance ensembles return to the myth of Orpheus in a new, fully staged production of Monteverdi’s timeless favola in musica (fable in music) on the same myth. L’Orfeo stands as one of the most enduring masterpieces of the operatic genre. More than four centuries after the opera’s premiere, this co-production will captivate both seasoned opera lovers and first-time audiences, restoring Monteverdi’s revolutionary work to its full splendor for the 21st-century stage.
