First staged in Brisbane in October 2019, the critically acclaimed circus-opera production Orpheus & Eurydice, created by Opera Queensland (OQ) and Circa, and presented by Edinburgh International Festival and Opera Australia, will have its European premiere next month.
The 2025 Edinburgh International Festival, under the artistic leadership of Festival Director Nicola Benedetti and with the theme of ‘The Truth We Seek’, takes over the Scottish capital from 1-24 August. The Festival was established in 1947 with the intent of providing ‘a platform for the flowering of the human spirit’ in the calamitous wake of World War II. In tandem with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, it remains a globally significant cultural event, second only to the Olympics and World Cup in terms of ticketed attendance.
