* The opera starts with Orpheus and a chorus mourning Eurydice's death. Orpheus is so devastated initially that all he can say is her name, and he eventually shoos the mourners away to grieve in private, cursing the gods for taking his wife from him.
* The walk out of Hades is emotionally devastating, as not only can Orpheus not turn to look at Eurydice, he can't speak to her to tell her why. Eurydice thinks he no longer loves her, ''begs'' him to look at her, and threatens to stay behind in death if he won't explain himself, which ultimately makes him turn around and lose her again.
* The aria "Che farò senza Euridice?" ("What will I do without my Eurydice?") Orpheus has gone to Hades to retrieve his wife Eurydice, who has just died, only to lose her again when he looks back at her. His response is nothing short of heartbreaking.
