Come see Light Opera of New Jersey’s all new invigorating version of Orpheus in the Underworld by Jacques Offenbach, a hilarious show about the Greek mythical Gods fighting over the irresistible mortal, Eurydice!
See what happens when Pluto, disguised at a shepherd boy, steals her away from her husband, Orpheus, and then takes her down to Hades. When Jupiter comes to the rescue he also gets caught up with the beautiful girl while at the same time Public Opinion prods a reluctant Orpheus to “go to hell” to get her back.
When all the attention dies down, Eurydice rejoices in her new found celebrity and dances the famous “Can-Can” number with Venus, Minerva, Diana, Cupid and an entire collection of Gods and Goddesses.
