Ballet National de Marseille from France will perform a dance version of the tragic Greek myth “Orpheus and Eurydice.”

The story behind the opera is well known. Orpheus is mourning the death of Eurydice when Amor, sent by Jupiter, suggests he go to the Underworld to find her on condition that he pacifies the Furies with his singing, does not look at his beloved and does not explain his actions to her. Like many Greek myths, the story ends tragically.

Directed by Belgium choreographer and general manager of Ballet National de Marseille, Frederic Flamand, the show combines modern and classical dance techniques, taking an innovative approach to the myth, with set designs by Belgian visual artist Hans Op de Beeck.

The Ballet National de Marseille was founded by the dancer and choreographer Roland Petit in 1972. The company’s most famous production was “The Pink Floyd Ballet” in 1972. It is also a combination of modern dance and ballet, accompanied by Pink Floyd rock songs. It has been staged around the world, including China.
