HADESTOWN is a defiantly hopeful theatrical experience that will take you on a journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone.
HADESTOWN invites you to imagine how the world could be.
Playing the role of narrator Hermes is multi-ARIA award winner Christine Anu who will be joined on stage by rising star Abigail Adriano as Eurydice, who wowed audiences last year as Kim in Miss Saigon, Noah Mullins as Orpheus, (West Side Story, La Cage Aux Folles), Opera Australia favourite Adrian Tamburini as Hades and Elenoa Rokobaro as Persephone (Caroline or Change, tick, tick…BOOM!).
Sarah Murr, Jennifer Trijo and Imani Williams will feature as the Fates with the cast also to include Eliza Soriano, Afua Adjei, Sam Richardson, Iosefa Laga’aia, Devon Braithwaite, Molly Bugeja, Jessie Monk, Jack Lyall and Joshua Kobeck.
