Original Vintage Poster Orfeo Monteverdi Opera De Lyon Music Greek Legend Art

About the Item

Claudio Monteverdi was a pioneer of opera who is known for bridging the transition in music history of the Renaissance and Baroque periods during the late 16th to early 17th century; L'Orfeo is based on the ancient Greek legend of the descent of the musician and poet Orpheus to Hades to bring his dead wife Eurydice back using music.
