* AdaptationalSecrecyDowngrade: Inverted. In Myth/ClassicalMythology, as Orpheus and Eurydice leave the Underworld, Eurydice knows that Orpheus is forbidden to look at her until they reach the world of the living. But in Gluck's opera, she doesn't know, and Orpheus is also forbidden to tell her. Therefore, her pleading for him to look at her becomes the reason for his fatal backward glance.

* DeathByFallingOver: Ondrej Havelka's 2014 film of the opera implies that this was the cause of Eurydice's death [[DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaptation rather than the snakebite from the original myth.]] The Furies torture Orpheus with a flashback vision, showing that he neglected Eurydice [[MarriedToTheJob in favor of his music]], which finally led to a quarrel in which she tried to wrest his lyre out of his hands: he pushed her away, and she fell and fatally struck her head.
