David chats with Gary Abrahams, Director of the Melbourne Shakespeare Company's 2026 production of Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl.

Die Oper „El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego“ der US-amerikanischen Komponistin Gabriela Lena Frank wirft einen Blick auf das Künstlerpaar Frida Kahlo und Diego Rivera – und das in ambitionierter Umkehrung des Orpheus- und Eurydike-Mythos. Noch spannender aber: Mit diesem Werk hat eine Oper auf Spanisch Premiere an der Met gefeiert – und das ausgerechnet im kulturell eher auf Abgrenzung bedachten politischen Klima unter Donald Trump. Mit dabei ist auch ein Sänger aus dem SWR-Sendegebiet: der in Ludwigsburg geborene Nils Wanderer. In SWR Kultur berichtet er über seine Erfahrungen.
In 1957, Tennessee Williams returned to the Martin Beck Theatre with Orpheus Descending, a play he had spent nearly two decades trying to get right. Originally produced in 1940 as Battle of Angels, the drama had collapsed amid censorship battles, technical problems, and public outrage. Yet Williams could never leave it behind. In this episode, we trace the remarkable seventeen-year journey of the play, from its disastrous Boston tryout to its rebirth on Broadway under a new title. Along the way, we explore Williams's complicated relationship with success and failure, the creative partnership that shaped his work, and the cast and collaborators who helped bring Orpheus Descending to life, including Maureen Stapleton, Harold Clurman, Boris Aronson, Robert Loggia, Cliff Robertson, and Lois Smith. Featuring archival interviews and firsthand accounts, this is the story of one of Broadway's most ambitious productions, why audiences rejected it, and how its failure marked a turning point in the life of America's greatest playwright. -- Click here for a transcript with photos, videos, and a list of all resources used.

Orpheus Heyward joins the Real Life Theology Podcast to discuss how Christians should engage and resist culture. Drawing on Romans 12, he explains being a transformed, non‑conformist driven by God's mercy, the ‘‘New Testament sacrificial system,'' and living differently so others see Christ in us.

In this episode of Domina Tempora, we unleash the wild, sacred power of the Maenads — the raving priestesses and fierce warriors of Dionysus, god of wine, ecstasy, vegetation, and divine madness.Adorned with ivy, snakes, and panther skins, these women were far more than “mad” followers. They were holy initiates who danced in frenzied ecstasy to the thunder of drums, performed miracles that summoned wine from the earth and milk from stones, and wielded superhuman strength in service to their god. As both celebrants and soldiers, they tore apart the enemies of Dionysus — from the dismembered Orpheus to the doomed King Pentheus, whose own mother Agave, still in divine frenzy, carried his severed head as a hunting trophy.We explore their dual nature: bringers of joy and terror, voluntary devotees and those driven mad as punishment, miracle-workers and destroyers. From the tragic fate of Lycurgus to the protective sisterhood shown by the women of Amphissa, the Maenads reveal the untamed, dangerous heart of Dionysian worship — where ecstasy and violence, life and death, blur into one.If the intoxicating pull of divine frenzy, forbidden rites, and the raw power of ancient passion calls to you, my debut novel Clotho Unbound is waiting. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus across the ages — becomes entangled with Aphrodite in stolen, blasphemous nights of desire that make the Loom of Fate itself tremble. Their love is treason. Their passion could unravel destiny.Clotho Unbound is out now — order your copy today on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, and audiobook coming soon).Direct link:https://www.amazon.com/Clotho-Unbound-Marianne-Fisher/dp/B0GTZ8PZFVThank you for listening.Until next time — may your thyrsus strike true and your frenzy set you free.

A podcast introducing the exciting new Spanish-language opera with music by Gabriela Lena Frank to a libretto by Nilo Cruz: what would happen if the myth of Orpheus and Euridice were reenacted by the famous Mexican painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo? Some Seattle Opera personnel attended the Chicago performances of this magic realist opera, coming to Seattle Opera January 2027. Michaela Calzaretta, chorus master and head of music staff, discussed FRIDA & DIEGO with Alex Minami, co-director of programs and partnerships, and Alicia Moriarty, director of production.
Mit der antiken Sage von Orpheus, dem Dichter und Sänger, beginnt der Mythos des Künstlers – der Mann als Genie. Diesen Mythos erzählt die Inszenierung der Barock-Oper „L'Orfeo“ bei den Schwetzingen SWR Festspielen. Am Ende zerreißen Frauen den Künstler, der sie erst zur Inspiration braucht und dann zum Material macht. Wie sollen Künstlerinnen auf diesen Männermythos reagieren? Kopieren, konterkarieren, ignorieren? Warum findet man in den meisten Erzählungen so wenig Künstlerinnen? Mit Beate Söntgen, Professorin der Leuphana-Universität, begann in Deutschland die feministische Kunstgeschichte.

In the Greco-Roman world, gods were known to tame soundscapes, or acoustic landscapes. Zeus, Apollo, Orpheus, and other Classical deities demonstrated their power by bringing order to chaotic sound worlds, replacing cacophony with harmony. In late antiquity, Christians took up this archetype and applied it to Jesus. For many early Christians, the advent of Christ resembled the modern phenomenon of a musical key change, but on a grand scale: Jesus initiated a recalibration of the cosmic soundscape, ushering in a new world. However, according to many Christians in late antiquity, this universal key change was not yet complete. Late ancient Christians believed that they could participate in the ongoing sonic work of Christ by Christianizing the acoustic landscapes of the world.In Sounds for a New World: The Christianizing Soundscapes of Late Antiquity (Oxford UP, 2026), Dr. Philip Abbott explores how late ancient Christians envisioned themselves as participants in the worldwide retuning effort, harmonizing the Classical world to the new Christian reality. Rejecting the sounds of traditional Greco-Roman and Persian cultures, Christians advocated a variety of sonic practices to realize their grand retuning endeavor, including shouting, singing, silent meditation, chanting, and even belching. From the Latin West to the Syriac East, late ancient Christians formed a polyphonous chorus of diverse voices all joining in the great harmonizing work of Jesus as they Christianized the soundscapes of the world.For years, scholars have noted the monumental changes that took place in early Christianity during the so-called Constantinian Revolution. But Dr. Abbott turns our attention to an unexplored aspect of this transitional moment, arguing that it was not simply a political or religious revolution - it was a revolution of the senses. Central to this sensorial transformation was sound. As Christianity gained imperial power in the fourth century, Christians began the process of re-tuning the world for Christ. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Long before therapists' couches or self-help books, music was the original soul-medicine — a divine force capable of shaping character, harmonising societies, and even bending the fabric of reality itself.In this episode of Domina Tempora, we journey across ancient civilisations to uncover how music was revered as far more than entertainment. From the earliest playable flutes unearthed at Jiahu in China (7000–5700 BC) and Minoan lyres on Crete, to the profound teachings of Plato and the Yue Ji in China, we explore how music was seen as essential for forming the soul and cultivating virtue.We meet the legendary musicians who wielded its power: Orpheus, whose songs could charm beasts, move stones, and nearly conquer death itself — only to lose Eurydice forever when doubt made him look back. His music soothed Hades, inspired mystery rites, and gave birth to the Orphic way of life. Across the seas, we encounter Narada, the divine troubadour of Hindu tradition, whose veena and devotional hymns carried enlightenment, bhakti, and cosmic knowledge between gods and mortals. And in ancient China, we discover Ling Lun and Kui, who tuned the world to the cries of phoenixes and the rhythms of harmony under the Yellow Emperor.From ritual protection of the infant Zeus on Delos to the first orchestras that brought spirits and humans into accord, this episode reveals music as a sacred technology — magical, moral, and transformative.If tales of divine passion, forbidden desire, and the power of ancient forces stir something deep within you, step into the world of my debut novel Clotho Unbound. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus for eons — finds her threads entangled with Aphrodite in stolen, blasphemous nights that make the Loom of Fate tremble. Their love is treason. Their passion could unravel destiny itself.Clotho Unbound is out now and available to order on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, and audiobook coming soon).Grab your copy today:https://www.amazon.com/Clotho-Unbound-Marianne-Fisher/dp/B0GTZ8PZFVThank you for listening.Until next time — may your strings stay in tune and your threads hold strong.

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode: How artificial intelligence applied to digital pathology could guide treatment personalization in breast cancer. T. Ruelle, T. Grinda, L. Del Mastro, M. Lacroix-Triki, B. Pistilli & G. Gessain. ESMO Real World Data and Digital Oncology 2026.Episode Summary: In this journal club episode, we step into the reality of computational pathology and explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming breast cancer diagnostics. We examine a comprehensive review detailing how AI not only assists overburdened healthcare systems but also unlocks invisible genomic data straight from a standard $5 hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) glass slide. What happens when a machine can predict complex DNA mutations just by evaluating the structural architecture of cells?In This Episode, We Cover:• The Diagnostic Bottleneck: Understanding the critical worldwide shortage of pathologists colliding with a projected 3.2 million global breast cancer diagnoses by 2050, and why the system is under unprecedented strain.• The Biomarker Battle: Why the human visual cortex struggles to quantify faint immunohistochemistry stains, and how AI acts as a perfect "digital colorimeter". We discuss its near-perfect concordance in assessing crucial biomarkers like Ki-67, ER, PR, PD-L1, and the newly established HER2-low status.• Seeing the Invisible (Predictive AI): How deep learning transcends visual diagnostics to predict treatment outcomes, such as a patient's response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We also discuss AI's ability to infer Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) and BRCA1/2 mutations by identifying macroscopic footprints like laminated fibrosis.• Decoding Genomic Assays: The potential to replace expensive, tissue-consuming genomic tests like Oncotype DX with AI models (such as Orpheus) that predict recurrence risk straight from digitized slides, achieving accuracy that rivals the tests themselves.• Roadblocks to Reality: The major clinical friction preventing global rollout. We discuss the steep infrastructure costs of whole-slide scanners, the danger of AI bias across diverse hospital datasets, and the ethical "black box" problem requiring the evolution of transparent, agent-based AI.Key Takeaway: Computational pathology is moving far beyond basic diagnostic assistance. By successfully reading the structural language of biology, AI proves it can extract costly, invisible molecular data from standard biopsies, fundamentally changing the economics and accessibility of global personalized healthcareSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Sounds of Justice, the fourth series in the Global Campus “To the Righthouse” podcast programme, explores the deep and often surprising connections between music and human rights. Taking inspiration from The Routledge Companion to Music and Human Rights, it travels across genres, geographies and histories to look at the roleof music in advancing empathy, solidarity, identity and resistance to injustice.Aimed at music-makers, change-makers and anyone with an interest in music, social justice and the connections between them, Sounds of Justice is an invitation to listen afresh, to imagine anew and to be moved to action. The series is hosted by Ignacio Saiz who designed it in collaboration with advisors Angela Impey and Julian Fifer. It brings together leading voices from across the music, social justice and human rights fields, including Manfred Nowak, George Ulrich, Shana Redmond, Rasika Ajotikar, Christina Hazboun, Rachel Harris, Mansoor Adayfi, César Rodríguez-Garavito and Rebecca Dirksen.The first episode teases out the different dimensions of the relationship between music and human rights. The four guests, all co-editors of the Routledge Companion, explore what the language of music and the values of human rights have in common; and how music's capacity to connect us to our common humanity while attuning us to difference can power ongoing struggles for justice.About the hostIgnacio Saiz is a human rights advocate and independent advisor to international organizations. He previously led the Center for Economic and Social Rights and held senior positions at Amnesty International. A lifelong passion for music has led him to explore how its power can be harnessed to advance human rights, including as creator and host of Sounds of Justice.* Julian Fiferis former Executive Director of Musicians for Human Rights. As cellist and founder of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, he conceived a method of orchestral music-making using democratic principles and collective leadership. The artistic outcomes have been documented by Deutsche Grammophon on 55 Orpheus recordings.* Angela Impeyis Emerita Professor of Ethnomusicology at SOAS, University of London and co-editor of the Routledge SOAS Studies in Music series. She has published widely on music and social justice in Africa, including the award-winning Song Walking: Women, Music, and Environmental Justice in an African Borderland.* Manfred Nowakis Professor of International Human Rights Law at the University of Vienna and Secretary General of the Global Campus of Human Rights, a network of some 100 universities in all world regions, based in Venice.* George Ulrichis Academic Director of the Global Campus of Human Rights (Venice, Italy).

While our last episode discussed Orpheus through the lens of archetypal creativity, this episode focuses on the grief elements of the story as depicted in Ovid’s version of the story. We share our own grief stories and explore the hazards experienced when people do not allow themselves to grieve. This episode we will be reading from: Metamorphoses – by Ovid Parables and Portraits – by Stephen Mitchell Orpheus. Euridice. Hermes. – by Rainer Maria Rilke You can listen to El Maleh Rachamim prayer on My Jewish Learning here. This prayer asks God to grant rest to departed souls and is often recited at funerals.

“Black Orpheus” and the Globalization of Afro-Brazilian Culture (Rutgers UP, 2026) is the first historical study in English to examine the development, production, and reception of the 1958 film Black Orpheus and its legacy in the 1960s and 1970s. It focuses on the making of the film and the trajectories of the major actors and musicians who helped construct an image of Black Brazil and provides an analysis of the globalization of Afro-Brazilian images and music in France and the United States in the wake of the movie's success. Using archival sources, interviews, and the secondary literature from France, Brazil, and the United States, this book reveals information about the cultural histories of all three countries and gives readers new insight into the trajectories of diverse actors such as Breno Mello, Marpessa Dawn, and Léa Garcia and performers such as Agostinho dos Santos, Baden Powell, and Maria D'Apparecida. Darién J. Davis is a professor and the chair of Africana studies at Rutgers University–Newark. He is the author of four books, three edited volumes, and more than forty essays and articles in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

Dante has now crossed Lethe and is ready to face Beatrice head on. She has moved to get ready for this eye-to-eye conversation. She's positioned nearer the griffin, a complicated symbol that may have more than one interpretation.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore both Beatrice (particularly her emerald eyes) and this dual-natured beast that seems to become more difficult to interpret with its every move in the poem.To support this podcast, consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend through this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:19] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXI, Lines 112 - 126.

Comprehensive conversation about the profound impact of Bruce Arnold and his band Orpheus on American music as told by his son.
Tonight's reading is drawn from Book X, Fable I of Ovid's Metamorphoses — the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. After Eurydice's death, Orpheus descends into the underworld and is granted a single, fragile mercy: he may lead her back to the living world, provided he does not look back until they have crossed fully into the light. What follows is not a story about disobedience, but about devotion under strain — about love asked to endure silence, uncertainty, and distance without reassurance. This is a soft-spoken, live-ish reading offered as part of our 28 Nights of Dark Devotion — a series exploring love, longing, sacrifice, and return in their quieter, shadowed forms.

The highly renowned classical clarinetist, David Singer, has performed many times at Carnegie Hall. He was a principal member and soloist with the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra for 36 years and is featured on many of the group's 70 CDs on Deutsche Grammophon. David began with Orpheus when the group was playing for free. He has played with many of the world's greatest classical musicians, including legends like Yehudi Menuhin, Itzhak Perlman, Rudolf Serkin, and Yo-Yo Ma among others.David has also performed at the White House with Music from Marlboro and The Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society for Presidents Carter and Clinton. David's recently published memoir, From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall, is more than a musician's autobiography; its inspiring narrative will resonate with anyone who has faced life's challenges head-on. It's an ode to the power of never giving up while giving oneself every chance to succeed. I've read David's book and found it to be a fascinating, uplifting reflection of a life in music that's been full of challenges, triumphs, and the transformative power of music. If you enjoy stories about artists succeeding despite difficult obstacles, I highly urge you to read David's entertaining memoir.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit stayorgo.substack.comThis week, I'm inviting you into a quieter, more intimate conversation. After a month filled with heavier topics—ADHD, misogyny, and partner violence—I found myself needing to pause. This episode emerged from that space. There's no outline, no script—just me, speaking from the heart.In it, I explore what it means to stay grounded as a deeply sensitive person in an increasingly fractured world. I reflect on a local production of Hadestown that unexpectedly cracked something open in me, illuminating the profound choice we face between fear and trust. We follow the tragic story of Orpheus and Eurydice, and what it reveals about how easily doubt can derail us—even when we are on the cusp of something beautiful.If you are navigating the unknown, especially in the realm of divorce or deep personal change, I believe you'll resonate with this idea: that trusting your soul's call, even when you can't yet see where it leads, is itself the act of creating a new world. And that turning back, out of fear or uncertainty, is something we all understand—and still, we get to begin again.This episode is both a personal check-in and a wider call to all of us doing the brave work of building something new. Whether you're in a place of exhaustion, reflection, or decision, I hope this conversation offers you a quiet companion on the path forward.Show NotesSubscribe to Stay or Go on SubstackQ&A with Anaïs Mitchell (writer & composer of Hadestown) and Rachel Chavkin (director of Hadestown)Hades TownJourney of Souls - Dr. Michael NewtonText 90MIN to 33777 to book a 90-Minute Session with me. ✨Text STAYORGOCOMMUNITY to 33777 to join the community. ⚡️Text EMAILME to 33777 for the free tarot guide using ChatGPT.

What terrifying trials did Jason and the Argonauts have to overcome to win the famous Golden Fleece from a fire-breathing dragon, in one of the greatest greek myths of all time? When and where does this thrilling story come from? How does it tie together the tales of Odysseus, Orpheus, Achilles and Circe? Is there any historical evidence for the story of Jason and the Argonauts? What are the origins of Medea, the beautiful but vindictive sorceress who Jason marries? Did the Greeks still worship the Olympian gods in the more skeptical Hellenistic age? How did the coming of Alexander the Great transform the Greeks' understanding of the divine? And, were the Olympian gods really once mortal kings and queens of an earlier age, or were they planets..? Join Tom and Dominic as they conclude their epic journey into the glorious heart of Greek mythology, as they explore their evolution in an increasingly skeptical Hellenistic world, and answer the question; why did the Greek myths endure and captivate audiences throughout history, in a way that no other culture's mythology did?
