Offenbach: Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld)
Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld) welcomes the audience to a world of humans, gods and goddesses that seems all too familiar. This is Olympus High, a place where the tipping scales of popularity and power provide the perfect backdrop for a tale of love, jealousy, and intrigue. This is prom and circumstance for the ages, a lively, witty operetta springing from the genius of a young, aspiring Jacques Offenbach in 1858, playing out here in the year 1986, where relationships and hierarchy haven’t changed a bit. - Stephanie Blythe, Artistic Director, Graduate Vocal Arts Program
Sung in French with English supertitles, dialog in English.
Emmanuel will be serving as assistant conductor to James Bagwell for this opera production
