Offenbach: Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld)
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld) welcomes the audience to a world of humans, gods and goddesses that seems all too familiar. This is Olympus High, a place where the tipping scales of popularity and power provide the perfect backdrop for a tale of love, jealousy, and intrigue. This is prom and circumstance for the ages, a lively, witty operetta springing from the genius of a young, aspiring Jacques Offenbach in 1858, playing out here in the year 1986, where relationships and hierarchy haven’t changed a bit.
Sung in French with English supertitles, dialog in English.
