This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories â that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone â 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, Anaïs Mitchellâs beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
Hadestown: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchellâs Hadestown, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences.
Run time: 120 minutes with 15 minute intermission
