Where love and doubt walk hand in hand

 

NEW YORK — The New York Theatre Workshop has a winner with Anaïs Mitchell's absolutely brilliant folk opera "Hadestown." This immersive musical experience combines Greek mythology and elements of the 1927 film classic "Metropolis" to present a tale of star-crossed lovers forever bound by love and pain.

 

Orpheus (Damon Daunno) is a young man with a singing voice so angelic it can make clouds part and stones weep. Falling in love with Eurydice (Nabiyah Be), he soon charms this somewhat cynical woman who knows full well how cruel the world can be.

 

But as their summer courtship turns to winter, and with Orpheus seemingly more interested in his songs than his new wife, Eurydice finds herself falling under the spell of Hades (Patrick Page), ruler of the underworld. Having become too fearful of the harshness of the world, she instead chooses death, believing Hades will provide for her for eternity.

 

However, Hades's vision of the afterlife is not what she expects. He uses his legions of dead souls to create a gigantic electrified city—cold, impersonal, and inexorably growing. The city is surrounded by a wall to keep out poverty and undesirables.

 

Hades does all this to impress his wife, Persephone (Amber Gray), from whom he has long since grown apart. Persephone, a woman who clearly loves life, spends the spring and summer months each year on Earth, before going below to be with her husband for the fall and winter.

 

To Hadestown determined Orpheus willingly descends. With a little help from Hermes (Chris Sullivan), who also serves as the show's narrator, Orpheus attempts to bring Eurydice back to the land of the living. "Hadestown" is at its heart an exploration of what love means. More than flowery promises, it's about the trust and belief you place in another, as well as the patience to allow those qualities to be returned in kind.
