Jacques Offenbach’s Opéra-bouffon Orphée aux enfers dishes up a chaotic and lively romp between the realm of the gods and the maw of hell. The fiddle-playing Orpheus attempts to rescue his wife Eurydice from the underworld. But does he want to free her? Would Eurydice honestly not prefer just to stay there? And why is a fly oddly involved in all this? Together we’ll discover Offenbach’s thrilling music. We dive into the operetta’s fanciful world of dreams, go on a journey to the gods on Mount Olympus, descend to the underworld’s deepest dungeon and finish up by dancing the can-can at Pluto’s party.
