Charpentier's La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers


Baroque master Stephen Stubbs leads students from Opera UCLA in Charpentier’s beautiful and moving French baroque rendition of the Orpheus myth. Lauded director and UCLA alumnus James Darrah stages the production, which also includes a satirical Orpheus piece by André Campra from Le Carnaval de Venise.

This event is part of LA Opera’s Eurydice Found, a countywide festival taking place from January through March of 2020 dedicated to new perspectives on the enduring Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
