‘Orpheus in the Underworld’ lets loose with a comic opera of saucy, harmonious fun What happens when a group of bored Roman gods arrive in Hades searching for saucy, bacchanalian revelry? Find out when “Orpheus and the Underworld,� one of the most satirical and hilarious operas of all time, brings a universe of cheeky exuberance to Fisher Theater in Ames. This comic romp opens at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 1, with additional 7:30 p.m. performances on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2 and 3. A matinee performance will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4. All performances will be in Fisher Theater in Ames. Every three years, ISU Theatre and Opera Studio collaborate to perform a full-scale opera during the ISU Theatre season. “Orpheus in the Underworld� should appeal to traditional opera lovers and new fans alike, Brad Dell, director of ISU Theatre, said. “For someone who has never seen an opera before, this show is a fabulous gateway drug,� Dell said. In a retelling of the classic myth, the show follows Orpheus as he travels from the pastoral loveliness of
earth through the dizzying frivolity of Olympus to the decadent hedonism of Hades. “Orpheus in the Underworld� is a French Libretto by Hector Cremieux and Ludovic Halevy, adapted for English by Rebecca Renfro Grimes in collaboration with ISU Music’s Opera Studio. The music by Jacques Offenbach includes one of the most famous songs of all time — “Can-Can.� “The music is wildly catchy, but it’s still lush, gorgeous, classical opera music,� Dell said. “And, you will also get to see a kick line exploding all over Fisher Theater.� “Almost every tune in ‘Orpheus’ is an earworm in its own right that you could leave the theatre humming,� PLAY, see page 7
