SUMMARY:Orpheus and Euridice at Cincinnati Opera
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati Opera presents a story of “love\, loss\, and letting go.\nOrpheus\, a grieving musician\, loses his beloved Euridice too soon—and is granted one impossible chance to bring her back from the underworld. Guided by music and memory\, he descends into a realm of shadows with only one rule: don’t look back. Ricky Ian Gordon’s Orpheus and Euridice retells the ancient myth with lyrical intimacy and emotional clarity\, blending classical voice with contemporary style. It’s a haunting meditation on love\, loss\, and letting go.”

SUMMARY:"I am Living. I Remember You" – A Midsummer Night's Concert
DESCRIPTION:“This year’s Deep Water Literary Festival launches with an exploration of transformation—where poetry becomes music\, grief becomes art\, and memory becomes a bridge between worlds. Experience the luminous poetry of Marie Howe (New York Poet Laureate 2012-2016) reimagined as song in this special collaborative performance. Composer Ricky Ian Gordon—whose music has been hailed as ‘caviar for a world gorging on pizza’ (The New York Times)—transforms Howe’s verses\, written in the wake of her brother’s death\, into soaring vocal songs. Soprano Jennifer Zetlan\, praised as “a tour de force” (The Wall Street Journal)\, brings these librettos to life with her radiant voice\, interwoven with readings by Marie Howe of her Pulitzer Prize-winning poems.\nThe evening culminates with Grammy-winning pianist Kevin Hays’ improvisatory riff on Philip Glass’s Metamorphosis.”
