Synopsis
Hadestown
Published by Samuel French Inc
Large Mixed Cast
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
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
