'''Set''': Designed by Maze de Boer, the sets were designed to allow two stories to be told simultaneously. Set design included consideration for all technological elements, as well as space for the cast to perform.<ref name=RO>{{Cite web|url=https://reisopera.nl/programma/orphee-or-l-amour-or-eurdydice|title=''Orphée L'Amour Eurydice'' – production details\| publisher= Nederlandse Reisopera|access-date=
'''Projections''': During the performance, text-messages between Orphée, l'Amour, and Eurydice can be seen at various times. These elements were designed to allow for character back-stories to be communicated to the audience. Projections are also used when members of the audience are back-lit while using their VR-headsets, creating choreographed shadows, viewed by other members of the audience.<ref name=RO />
