The instrumental at the start is cut off (tumblr limit, sorry!), but Orpheus was literally right in front of my face having a break down so I have to tell you for posterity. When this starts, he kisses his necklace (I'm once again asking what his damn necklace is), staggering and desperately hitting his chest to the sound of the keys, so grievously hurt. You can hear him shushing the Fates before they sing their first 'Where is she now?' here! The stage is so so dark, it really looks like Orpheus is alone here, until Eurydice starts singing with that big bright light, but he keeps on panicking. Madeline does a magical, heartbreaking thing here singing 'Orpheus' before she goes.
