Hadestown: Teen Edition

Called “achingly beautiful, thought-provoking, powerful and prophetic” by Newsday, Anaïs Mitchell’s haunting, jazz-inflected 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.
