Valide

It is a real wolf in sheep's clothing that upsets Eurydice. Pluton, the god of the underworld, enters her life in the form of the lovely and nature-loving Monsieur Aristée, and suddenly everything is different: full of longing, she exchanges her unfulfilled existence at the side of her Orpheus, a violin virtuoso who is as brilliant as he is vain, for the erotic temptations of the shadow realm of Pluton. A twist of fate that Orpheus doesn't want to stand in the way. On the contrary: Eurydice's pleasurable escape into the realm of death cannot go fast enough for him. And so he actually wants nothing less than having to win back his dissolute wife.

Jacques Offenbach and his librettist Ludovic Halévy turn ancient Greek mythology upside down with their "Orpheus in the Underworld". With wit and double bottom, they drive Orpheus' search for his unloved one from one bitter punch line to the next and make the wild travesty, for which Offenbach tailored music rich in quotations, socially acceptable. The escapist life of the divine Hallodris is tackled by director Barrie Kosky, who returns to the Deutsche Oper am Rhein with this celebrated co-production with the Salzburg Festival and the Komische Oper Berlin.
