(The world’s oldest surviving opera, Jacopo Peri’s “Euridice,” was written 420 years ago. On Saturday night at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles Opera presented the premiere of the world’s newest major opera: Matthew Aucoin’s “Eurydice.”)

• Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and fully sourced except the synopsis section, for which sources are not required. The main hook is very interesting and verified with the supplied source. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 09:33, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
