We were fortunate enough to attend last night's premier of Long Beach Opera's "Orpheus and Euridice," a classic tale of love and loss told in a totally unique format. The company used Long Beach's Olympic Swimming Pool to fill in for a river at the gates of hell, and they used lighting, boats, cloaks and smoke to stunning visual effect. It was so refreshing and unique, and made a me a sudden, ardent opera fan! Elizabeth Futral's voice alongside Todd Palmer's clarinet were haunting, beautiful, and totally engrossing. Check out this cool time lapse video of the whole production (including set-up and tear-down).
