How Can He Live Without His Euridice

from Orpheus and Eurydice...ish
Libretto by Michelle Telford and Kendra Harder

In the classic tale of Orpheus & Eurydice, Eurydice is bitten by a prop snake and now prepares herself for death in the classic drawn-out death aria. This version takes the Gluck classic "How can I live without my Euridice?" and turns it on its head to "How can Orpheus live with out me?"

This comic aria is just a few too many dashes of overdramaticism, which should be just enough for the overdramatic soprano.
