Join SMTD for the virtual premiere of “La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers,” performed by the U-M Opera Studio and Baroque Chamber Orchestra. Originally performed in April 2018, the opera is the culmination of a semester-long study of historically inspired performance practice by SMTD’s voice and early music departments.

Throughout the virtual premiere, Joseph Gascho, assistant professor of music, Matthew Ozawa, assistant professor and opera director, and student performers will be answering your questions in the video’s comments section. Learn about the performance, rehearsal process, the collaboration between the voice and early music departments, and much more.

"La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers" is the second performance of SMTD’s new virtual performance series #SMTDPresents.
