About This Song
About "Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq. 30: Che farò senza Euridice?" by Shirley Verrett
Che farò senza Euridice?—what will I do without her? Verrett's Orfeo is a wound that sings. The aria is not grief but the architecture of grief: a staircase descending into silence, each step a note, each note a room emptied of light.
