The opera‑film retells the ancient Greek tragedy of Orpheus, contrasting with Gluck’s Vienna version. Orpheus can defeat Hades through his art yet fails to overcome his own human flaws. Love‑god Amor sympathizes with his grief, delivering the Gods’ decree that Orpheus may retrieve Eurydice from the underworld only if he does not look back at her.
