This month, theatregoers will be transported to 1930s Paris in all its bohemian vibrancy, as the Everyman hosts Little Bulb’s madcap, musical re-imagining of the epic Greek myth Orpheus, from 20th to 24th October.
Set to a live score of hot club jazz, opera and French chanson, Orpheus is a musical re-imagining of the epic Greek myth. Charismatic songstress Yvette Pépin and her troupe of operatic players perform the thrilling tale of Orpheus’s ill-fated descent into the underworld to reclaim his lost love, Eurydice.
Music has played an integral part in Orpheus with a veritable feast of original compositions alongside Bach, Monteverdi, Edith Piaf and Debussy.
