The Ensemble Concordia Mundi presents Gluck’s masterpiece “Orpheus and Eurydice” in German, staged in the rarely performed original Viennese version from 1762—featuring the conciliatory, original ending, the famous “Viennese Finale.”

Experience the ancient myth of Orpheus in its most comforting form: Cupid intervenes, the power of love triumphs over death, and Eurydice returns to Orpheus.

In a historically inspired stage adaptation, a moving musical drama unfolds, bridging the Baroque and Classical periods—clear, immediate, and deeply human.

The crypt is comfortably tempered year-round.

The box office opens 30 minutes before the performance begins.
Running time: 80 minutes, with one intermission.
