About This Event
"Hadestown," a musical by Anaïs Mitchell, reimagines the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through a blend of folk and jazz influences. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the story follows Orpheus as he journeys to the underworld to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the grasp of Hades, the king of the dead. The production, which features a score written by Mitchell, explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the cyclical nature of life and death. Its innovative staging and rich character development invite audiences to reflect on the human experience in a contemporary context.
