“Orpheus and Eurydice” Opera – Saint Genis Pouilly, France

Orpheus and Eurydice Opera – Saint-Genis-Pouilly, France – Innovative Use of Eiffel 40100 Mesh in Scenic Design

The latest adaptation of “Orpheus and Eurydice” performed in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, France, showcases a compelling blend of traditional opera and modern scenic design. This iconic opera by Gluck, known for its profound themes of love and loss, has been reimagined with a fresh visual narrative, enhanced significantly by the incorporation of Codina Architectural’s Eiffel 40100 stainless steel mesh.

The Eiffel 40100 metal mesh, chosen for this production, plays a pivotal role in the opera’s set design. Its natural stainless steel finish adds a modern yet timeless touch to the stage, creating a versatile backdrop that complements the drama unfolding on stage. The use of this architectural mesh elevates the aesthetic of the opera, providing a textured, dynamic visual element that captures the audience’s attention while maintaining the integrity of the original storyline.

One of the key aspects of this production is the way the mesh interacts with the lighting. The Eiffel 40100 metal mesh is strategically placed to reflect and diffuse light, creating dramatic shadows and highlights that enhance the mood of each scene. This manipulation of light and material brings a new dimension to the performance, making the set not just a background element but an active participant in the storytelling. The mesh allows for fluid transitions between different atmospheres, whether it’s the ethereal underworld or the more grounded mortal realm.
