There is little dramatic action in Act 2 of Gluck's Orphee, which is occupied with the visit of Orpheus to the Underworld, his reception there, his vehement importunity, and his ultimate success in prevailing on the rulers to allow Euridice to leave the abode of the departed and accompany him to earth again, and finally his visit to the Elysian Fields. There is, however, a great deal of picturesque music, the most important of which are the dances of the furies and the ballet.
