Interesting question. "Cavalleria Rusticana", "Billy Budd"?. Love has
obviously much to do at Orpheus myth, but there's no love scene (properly
speaking) at Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo" and, if I don't remember bad, at
Gluck's "Orfeo et Euridice". There must be more examples. Next point:
a discussion on what a love scene is "properly speaking":-)
