Sex, politics, intrigue, great parties, the famous Can-can, and it’s all in English!
Offenbach’s satirical opera makes fun of the myth of Orpheus & Eurydice and
of societal convention: When Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld, kidnaps Euridyce,
Orpheus is delighted, as he no longer loves her! However, Public Opinion dictates
he must go to her rescue … The gods of Olympus, bored with their exalted
existence, intervene, and everybody goes to Hell!
Super singers, fab dancers, chamber orchestra, a beautiful mini-opera-house… what fun!
