"The Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has inspired dozens of stage, screen, and literary adaptations, including the well-known movies Black Orpheus and Moulin Rouge, the plays Metamorphoses and Eurydice, and the opera Orpheus in the Underworld. The Tony-winning Best Musical Hadestown is the latest stage adaptation of the famous story, but for this modern retelling, co-creators Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Chavkin intertwine the doomed love story of Orpheus and Eurydice with the myth of Hades and Persephone into a cautionary tale about love and sacrifice, set above and in the desolate underworld.
