Orpheus - Freie Oper Zürich at Gare du Nord

Event Dates: 
20 March, 2018 - 20:00
22 March, 2018 - 20:00

The Gare du Nord, the Bahnhof für Neue Musik, is the first experimental music centre in Switzerland. Located in the Badischer Bahnhof in Basel, it provides a home and a showcase for the very lively and productive contemporary music scene in Switzerland and the trinational region of Basel, Freiburg im Breisgau and Strasbourg.

The Freie Oper Zürich is performing a world premiere of "Orpheus".

Musician Orpheus goes against the laws of nature with his singing. He descends into the underworld and, through his music, Eurydice returns from the dead. Orpheus's story becomes myth, because he shifts borders. Composer Dominique Girod and the Freie Oper Zürich address the theme of borders in this new musical theatre piece - very topical to today's world.
