About

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 that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Set in a post-apocalyptic, Depression-era world, a struggling Eurydice escapes poverty by descending to the industrial, totalitarian underworld, prompting the musician Orpheus to rescue her, leading to a tragic, cautionary love story. 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.
