Orpheus in the Underworld
23 - 27 September 2009
Tom Mann Theatre
136 Chalmers Street, Surry Hills
A grungy, operatic circus...
A mischievous parody of the Greek myth, Orfeo ed Euridice, Offenbach's operetta follows the riotous journey of Orpheus down into Hell, on a mission to collect his unlamented late wife, Eurydice. Vintage Duck's brand new production, featuring a stellar cast, a brand new script and contemporary electro-rock arrangement, will morph this classic operetta into a fast-paced, kaleidoscopic circus.
Vintage Duck is thrilled to announce its cast for "Orpheus in the Underworld"!
