Celebrate Voice presents a sparkling new production of Offenbach’s irresistible comic masterpiece, Orpheus in the Underworld.
Packed with glorious melodies, razor-sharp wit and, of course, the famous Can-Can, this delicious satire turns the legendary tale of Orpheus and Eurydice on its head. This brand-new English-language production, directed by Paul Carr, with musical direction by Michael Waldron and designs by Fred Broom, gives the operetta a gloriously irreverent 1970s sitcom makeover.
Expect outrageous characters, laugh-out-loud comedy and a fabulous cast of leading opera singers who have performed as principals with the major opera companies and festivals in the UK. Presented in Celebrate Voice’s uniquely intimate style, this promises to be an evening of exuberant fun, dazzling music and theatrical mischief that is not to be missed.
