roses–and–rue:

Still from “Eurydice, She so beloved…” by the Brothers Quay. Commissioned by Opera North, this short commemorates the 400th anniversary of Monteverdi’s “Orfeo,” sometimes referred to as the first-ever opera as we know it. It features the key aria “Possente spirto,” in which the desolate and heartbroken Orfeo begs Charon to let him enter the underworld to find Eurydice. The film also draws inspiration from Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem ‘Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.’ So many favorite things in one short. Swoon, swoon, swoon. Watch it here.
