He didn't, actually. When Eurydice had died of a snake bite, Orpheus, beside himself with grief, decided to travel to the underworld to try and get her back. He sang and played his way past Cerberus and Charon and finally stood before Hades and Persephone. At first Hades staunchly refused to let Eurydice return to land of the living, but then Orpheus sang of his love and loss so beautifully that even the god of the dead was moved.
He summoned Eurydice's spirit and told Orpheus that she would follow up to the world of day and be his living wife again. However, if he looked back at her before they stood in the sunlight together, she would vanish back into the underworld and no new pleas would convince Hades to release her again. Orpheus, however, was unable to keep from making sure that she was truly following him, looked back too soon and lost her again.
After his death he was reunited with her and together they dwelt forever
in the gardens of Elysium, the ancient Greek version of paradise.
What else can I help you with?

Hades didn't really 'capture' Eurydice- she stepped on a poisonous snake and died, entering Hades' domain herself- the Underworld.
Why did hades first agree to return eurydice to orpheus?
Hades initially agreed to return Eurydice to Orpheus as a test of Orpheus's love and faith. He was intrigued by Orpheus's extraordinary musical talent, which had the power to move even the hearts of the dead. By allowing Orpheus to retrieve Eurydice, Hades sought to see if Orpheus would trust in the conditions set forth and not look back at her until they reached the surface. This agreement reflects the themes of trust, love, and the trials that often accompany them in mythology.

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is that Orpheus had a girlfriend named Eurydice. On their wedding day, Eurydice stepped on a snake and died, leaving Orpheus very depressed. Orpheus decided to go down to the Underworld and bring back Eurydice's spirit. Once down there, he played his lyre so beautifully that Hades and Persephone were so moved that they let him bring her ghost back on one condition: to never turn back at the ghost. However, as they were leaving the Underworld, Orpheus looked back to see if Eurydice had made it out as well, but she was still in the Underworld as this was happening, so she was lost this time, forever.
