Offenbach, that king of comic invention, turns
one of Mythologys most sacred stories into a ribald comedy
with twists and turns never dreamed of by the ancient Greeks!
In lieu of an amorous couple separated on their wedding day by
the bite of a serpent, Orpheus and his wife, Euridice, are a
couple on the verge of divorce. Only when she runs away (to Hades)
with the boy next door (Pluto in disguise), is Orpheus, forced
by Public Opinion, to follow her there and bring her back. On
the way we meet some pretty daffy gods, and some savagely funny
situations, culminating in a foot-stompingly divine
Can-can, probably Offenbachs most popular tune ever! |
