吃瓜爆料 Opera Theatre

吃瓜爆料 Opera Theatre will present two performances of "Orpheus in the Underworld" on Friday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 30 at 3:00 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall. This comic opera features music by Jacques Offenbach, with text by Hector Cr茅mieux and Ludovic Hal茅vy. 吃瓜爆料 Opera Theatre is directed by Dr. Thomas L. Rowell. See ticket info below!!

鈥淥rpheus in the Underworld鈥� was Jacques Offenbach鈥檚 comic opera treatment of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, and was both blasted for its disrespect of mythology and praised highly by the French public for, well, being irreverently French!! In this adaptation, Orpheus is a second-rate violin teacher whose wife, Eurydice, is abducted by Pluto, the ruler of Hades, and taken to the Underworld. Orpheus is thrilled to be rid of his spouse until Public Opinion demands that he set about to rescue her by traveling to Mount Olympus to plead for her release. Jupiter, King of the Gods, is determined to thwart Pluto鈥檚 scheme for reasons that soon become clear aren鈥檛 in the interest of doing the right thing鈥�

Come find out if the rescue succeeds in this hilarious telling of the story and performance of this great operetta sung in French (with supertitles) and dialogue in English!
