A young call centre agent called Nele (Estonian opera singer Mirjam Mesak of the Bavarian State Opera) falls in love with a petty criminal street dancer. She is Orpheus. He is Eurydice. Her means of expression is song, he articulates himself through his dance. For her great love, she descends into the underworld, faces her old demons and learns to trust again. An operatic pastiche between Puccini, Handel and pop parodist Christian Steiffen.
