Monteverdi's Orfeo
Tenet's first-ever opera production
Tenet opens the 2026-2027 season with a fully-staged performance of Claudio Monteverdi's Orfeo, with projections by designer Camilla Tassi. Considered the earliest complete musical drama, Orfeo recounts the Orpheus myth through the libretto of Alessandro Striggio.
