ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD

Who knew Hell was so cool? In Offenbach’s hilarious take on the mythical tragedy, Orpheus is jubilant when his wife Eurydice is abducted by Pluto, God of the Underworld. Orpheus is guilted by Social Media into attempting a rescue, but nothing goes quite as planned. Luckily, Hell is a tropical paradise, and all the gods want to go party!

IF I WERE YOU

April 23, 2021 at 7:30pm, April 25, 2021 at 4:00pm

What would you do if you could live forever? What would you give up to do so? If I Were You, a supernatural story of a Faustian bargain and a battle for love, is a new opera by composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer loosely based on the novel and film, “Si j’étais vous”. With the return of director Karen Tiller and a dream cast headed up by HOT’s own Blythe Kelsey, you won’t want to miss this finale to HOT’s 60th Season!
