A comic opera in three acts from the original by Hector Cremieux and Ludovic Halvey.

New book and lyrics by Phil Park. Music adapted and arranged by Ronald Hanmer.

It’s the legend you know, just not as you know it. Orpheus and Eurydice are separated by fate and honestly, they couldn’t be more relieved. The Gods are bored of sublime existence. They long for the disorder and mess of mortal life.

Follow lovers, mortals and menaces in Offenbach’s vivid retelling of this classic.

1pm Friday 7th February 7pm Saturday 8th February

Directors: Isabelle Brimson and Benjamin Dunsmore Musical Directors: Ryotaro Takano and Esmè MacBride-Stewart

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International on behalf of Josef Weinberger LTD.
