Orpheus in the Underworld

Approved

Marriage is truly no cakewalk! Orpheus and Eurydice would love to have their bond for life annulled as soon as possible if such a scandal didn't threaten. And Orpheus' conservative mother insists on adhering to the sentence anyway: "Till death do you part." In this respect, it actually suits everyone quite well that Eurydice's lover reveals himself as the god of the underworld, kills her out of hand during an extramarital sweetheart and abducted to his kingdom. Only his big brother Jupiter finds this very annoying, since he also had his eye on the pretty daughter of earth, who was not averse to divine visitors. So Orpheus is forced to reclaim his unloved wife in Olympus. The bored gods are only too happy to use this occasion for a company trip to hell,

In his Orpheus in the Underworld , which premiered in 1858 , Jacques Offenbach took a satirical look at both myth and contemporary society. Just in time for his 200th birthday in June 2019, his most popular work is presented to public opinion in a Bielefeld version.
