| Summary |
Anaïs Mitchell's haunting, jazz-inflected folk opera follows Orpheus' mythical quest to overcome Hades and regain the favor of his one true love, Eurydice. |
|
"This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories--that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone--Hadestown invites audiences on a hellraising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell's beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love"--Page [4] of cover. |
