Haymarket Opera is teaming up with The Newberry Consort to present Jacopo Peri’s “Euridice” on Oct. 24 and 25, 2025.

The oldest surviving opera, which originally premiered in 1600 and had its American premiere at the University of Chicago in 1967, will take the stage of the Music Institute of Chicago in a production starring Soprano Erica Schuller and tenor Scott J. Brunscheen leading as Euridice and Orfeo. They are joined by sopranos Hannah De Priest and Véronique Filloux, mezzo Christine Boddicker, alto Ryan Belongie, tenors Brian Skoog and Michael St. Peter, bass-baritone Jonathan Woody, and bass Anthony Reed.

The Newberry Consort will perform on 17th-century instruments under the musical direction of Craig Trompeter and Liza Malamut. Chase Hopkins directs.

“I am tremendously excited for this collaboration,” said Malamut, artistic director of The Newberry Consort, per an official press release. “The combination of our vocal and instrumental forces is an incredible opportunity to highlight two of Chicago’s most storied early music groups, and to create a production that is musically captivating and greater than the sum of its parts.”
