Anaïs Mitchell's haunting, jazz-inflected folk opera follows Orpheus' mythical quest to overcome Hades and regain the favour of his one true love, Eurydice. This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. 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.
