About this event
Welcome, mortal.
As the dynasty of Calliope comes to an end, all mortals are called to choose who the realm will pay hommage to next. Will it be Cerberus, demon hound of the underworld or Clio, lyric muse of history?
Listen carefully to the tales they will tell about the realm of Muses and Daemons and why the nymph Eurydice has been locked inside a willow tree.
Make your choice now and tune in to this interactive livestream to watch a new dynasty in the OrpheusVR universe unravel in realtime.
ABOUT ORPHEUSVR / LIVE FROM THE UNDERWORLD
In 2018 a team of digital and opera artists came together to ask "what would opera look like if it were invented today?". From that initial question came OrpheusVR, an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure, virtual-reality opera was born.
After completing the prototype in 2021, the OrpheusVR team started working in the digital live stream space, using realtime motion capture technology and computer avatars from the OrpheusVR world to create live, interactive operatic performances that can be streamed from any device.
Tune in via YouTube live on Nov. 6th to follow the Orpheus & Eurydice saga.

IndieFest | re:Naissance Operare:Naissance Opera is a bold new opera company located on the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaʔ and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm nations. We are driven by local artists and a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, intersectionality, innovation and collaboration. We produce modern-day operatic performances that represent and connect the diverse communities, people and storytelling media unique to our home-city of Vancouver. We believe that by harnessing the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of opera; by empowering storytellers and producing stories that have been excluded from the operatic space, we will change the world one opera at a time.
