Erin Morley

Eurydice by Matthew Aucoin and Sarah Ruhl

The new broadcast season of the Metropolitan Opera begins with an Orpheus and Eurydice for the 21st century. Based on Sarah Ruhl’s acclaimed play, the brilliant American composer Matthew Aucoin reimagines the familiar Greek myth from Eurydice’s point of view. The technically dazzling coloratura soprano Erin Morley stars in the title role — audiences may remember her silver-toned Sophie from a recent broadcast of Der Rosenkavalier. With baritone Joshua Hopkins (Belcore in Lyric’s Elixir of Love), countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński (MOB”s Vocal Concertos in 2018), baritone Nathan Berg, and tenor Barry Banks, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

Introductions: Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative

This week, Robbie Ellis spotlights four CMPI Fellows of the 2022 graduating class, three of whom play instruments not typically featured as soloists (viola, trombone, and percussion). All CMPI Fellows have affiliations with organizations that foster and develop young classical musicians from all over the city such as Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Hyde Park Suzuki Institute, Merit School of Music, and Musical Arts Institute. CMPI’s mission is to help prepare gifted and motivated students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds for acceptance into top-tier music conservatories, colleges and universities.
