The Corridor is a chamber opera composed by Harrison Birtwistle to an English language libretto by David Harsent.

The premiere production was directed by Peter Gill with Ryan Wigglesworth conducting the London Sinfonietta.

[4] The Corridor was also performed in 2010 in a concert version at Merkin Hall in New York City with Brad Lubman conducting the contemporary music ensemble, Signal.

In a series of arias, the couple sing to each other as Eurydice retreats down the corridor back to the underworld, leaving Orpheus to return to the world alone.

[6] The 48 minute work is scored for two singers (soprano and tenor) and an orchestral ensemble of flute, clarinet, harp, violin, viola, and cello.
