Did you know Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld features one of the best-known pieces of music in the world? Find out more about the opera and Emma Rice's brand-new production here. It’s an all-singing all-dancing operetta by Jacques Offenbach. Although based on the famous Orpheus myth, Offenbach has satirised the story, turning it on its head for his operetta. Unlike the tragic tale of love and loss that many of us know, in this version, Orpheus is in fact glad to be rid of his deceased wife, who has been having an affair with Pluto. When Eurydice ends up in the underworld, Public Opinion forces the reluctant Orpheus to rescue his wife. Jupiter states Orpheus can retrieve Eurydice from the underworld, so long as he does not turn to look back at her.
Orpheus in the Underworld and Orpheus in Hell are English names for Orphée aux enfers, a comic opera with music by Jacques Offenbach and words by Hector Crémieux and Ludovic Halévy. It was first performed as a two-act "opéra bouffon" at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, Paris, on 21 October 1858, and was extensively revised and expanded in a four-act "opéra féerie" version, presented at the Théâtre de la Gaîté, Paris, on 7 February 1874.
In his famous "opera bouffe" Orpheus in the Underworld, Jacques Offenbach explores in a comic way the tragic story of lovers Orpheus and Eurydice. It is staged here by Laurent Pelly at the Opéra National de Lyon and performed by Natalie Dessay (Eurydice) and Yann Beuron (Orpheus).

Orpheus in the Underworld was written by Jacques Offenbach in 1858. It is still one of Offenbach’s most notable operettas of which he produced almost 100 examples. He excelled at the art and it was his main achievement, even though his opera fantastique, The Tales of Hoffmann, is one of the most significant French operas of the nineteenth century. The French composer of German origins had a flair for writing some of the most attractive and melodious music of his time. Offenbach’s all singing and all dancing operetta score includes the famous ‘Can-can’. Affordable London opera tickets for Orpheus in the Underworld will not last!
