The opera opens wilh a sr.lerar
prelude, and as the curtain rises
od the first act we ure auovu t
crotto and the tomb of Eurydice.
TLe husband and fHtn-Js :tp
mourning the death of Eurydice,
anu honors are cipiecii io trie
dead bride by an aria and chorus
"Thou Whom I Loved," and Or
pheus seeks to force entrance to
tomb but is barred by a band
ot demons, but his pleadings art
o pathetic that they finally allow
him to pa.3. This scne remains to
-this day and is considered one of
the most effective uUu pjferliii vu
the operatic stage. '
Meanwhile Amor has told Or
pheus that if he is to rescue Eury
'' "dice he must not look back at her
until after crossing the Styx. Eury
dice is brought to Amor by the
Happy Shades, and Orpheus, heed
ing ibe wuiiiing ot Auiur, ieU:s ....
bride from the vale. This action
she does not understand (duet)
"On My Faith Relying."
The situation is intense in that
Eurydice does not understand Or
pheus in his seeming disinclina
tion to look at her, and she, feel
ing that she has lost his love, pre
fers to die.
In this situation Orpheus forgets
the warning of Amor and clasps
) Eurydice to his bosom whereon she
Immediately dies. At this point Or-
Danish knight who are seeking
Renaud. The knights attack and
conquer the monsters. The scene
then changes to a beautiful garden
and the act closes with the two
knights resuming their journey to
free Renaud.
Act 6. This act represents an en
chanted garden. At the opening of
this act Arm id e la leaving Renaud
to be entertained by some happy
lovers as she wishes to consult the
powers 'of Hades. She summons
Hate to destroy Renaud, bat Hate
refuses, having once been driven
away, and In retalliation Armide
bids the Furies destroy the palace,
and in the ruins she perishes.
For lack of space the Editor of
this department will review the
third opera of this group in next

opera is called "Iphigenle en Taur
ide."
