The Metropolitan Opera is back on WRTI! Saturday, December 4th at 1 PM, tune in for a performance of Matthew Aucoin's new opera, Eurydice, an intriguing updated version of the Orpheus myth. Here, the composer talks with us about the power of music and words, grief and love, and about the ways in which the story speaks to us today.
