Eurydice: She, So Beloved

Commissioned by Opera North, the Brothers Quay created the installation and film 'She, So Beloved' inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem ‘Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.’ The Orfeo myth is re-told through a combination of art forms; film, dance, music and visual art contained within a contemporary staged installation to provide an intimate sensory experience.

Directed by Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, Eurydice: She, So Beloved leans on a strong ensemble — Simon Keenlyside, Kenneth Tharp, Zenaida Yanowsky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2007.
