CCP stages ‘Eurydice’ in Filipino

GReek mythologies are often considered some of the most romantic stories in literature. One such story is that of Orpheus and Eurydice, an oak nymph and the daughter of Apollo, who is the god of music, prophecy and light.

In the original story, Orpheus played joyful songs on his wedding to Eurydice who danced through the meadow. But one day, Aristaeus, Apollo’s son by another goddess, saw Eurydice and pursued her. As the newly wed nymph ran away, she stepped on a viper, got bitten and died instantly.
