About Yorkshire CREATE
Yorkshire CREATE presents Orpheus: A New Musical, an original work performed by teenagers from Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. When Eurydice is lost to the underworld, Orpheus refuses to give up on his love. Armed with nothing but his music and unwavering determination, he faces fate, monsters and even the gods themselves in a daring quest. This reimagining of the timeless myth sees love, courage and music collide in what the company describes as an unforgettable journey to the underworld.
