This intriguing and beautiful 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 carries 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.

"The meanest dog you’ll ever meet - It ain’t the hound dog in the street. He bares his teeth and tears your skin but brother, that’s the worst of him. The dog you really got to dread is the one that howls inside your head. It's him whose howling drives men mad and a mind to its undoing."

A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, HADESTOWN invites you to imagine how the world could be.
