Spring Musical Reception
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
“The songs are gorgeous, the band is hot, and the lyrics are eerily apt for the times.” – The New Yorker
“Achingly beautiful, thought-provoking, powerful and prophetic.” – Newsday
Every year the Foundation sponsors an Opening Night Reception for the Adrian High School musical in the Julianne and George Argyros Performing Arts Center foyer. We are excited to support the AHS production of Hadestown, the Tony Award–winning musical by Anaïs Mitchell that intertwines the mythic love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice and King Hades and Persephone in a haunting journey to the underworld.
The Opening Night Reception is a wonderful time to catch up with community friends, meet the actors, and enjoy a delicious buffet of hors d’oeuvres before admission to the show. Buy your tickets below! Your ticket includes access to the reception as well as admission to the performance of Hadestown!
