Castle Baroque Opera performs one of the first operas ever written: Claudio Monteverdi's 'L'Orfeo'. Following our acclaimed production of 'Dido and Aeneas' in April 2026, this marks our second fully-staged opera production.

'L'Orfeo' marks one of the most important turning points in music history, where human drama and theatre started to emerge in the seventeenth-century musical tradition. Its influence can be felt throughout music history, and can still be observed in the music theatre of today. Performed on historical instruments, with staging by visionary director Seb Carrington, this production discusses themes of resilience, creativity, and optimism when confronted with grief.
