Event

Orpheus in the Underworld
Set in the grand rotunda and staircase of the Manitoba Legislature, Orpheus in the Underworld is a comedic melodrama based on the myth of Orpheus journey to the underworld to rescue his fiancée, but Offenbach turned the story on its head. Orpheus still journeys to the underworld but Offenbach plays with extremes throughout the piece making the ill-fated lovers desire divorces and the gods of Olympus ridiculous stereotypes with the opulence of their world so extreme it teeters on the absurd. The melodrama allows us the opportunity to see the ridiculousness of our instant gratification driven society (from the point of view of the gods), and the absurdity of our societal approaches to love and marriages.
