Sommaire
Orpheus celebrates his marriage to Euridice, but a messenger then arrives to announce that she has been bitten by a serpent and is dead. Orpheus descends to the underworld, charming first the ferryman, Charon, with his singing, and later Proserpine, who intercedes with her husband, Pluto. Orpheus receives permission to lead Euridice back to Earth, on condition that he never look round. Inevitably, he breaks this injunction, and Euridice dies a second time. Orpheus is on the point of ending his life in the final act when his father, Apollo, enters and takes him up to the heavens, where Euridice is also enshrined as a constellation of stars.
