London Theatre: Hadestown

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Journey to the depths of the underworld in this modern retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Follow the musical prodigy Orpheus as he ventures into the dark realm of Hadestown to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the King of the Underworld himself. Their story intertwines with that of Hades and Persephone, whose tumultuous relationship mirrors the changing seasons. Anaïs Mitchell, a celebrated singer-songwriter, and director Rachel Chavkin have collaborated to turn Mitchell's acclaimed concept album into an innovative musical. This genre-blending production combines modern American folk music with vintage New Orleans jazz to give a fresh perspective on an ancient epic story.

About London

London mixes royal ceremony, world-class museums and riverside landmarks with distinct neighbourhoods, markets and parks to explore on foot.

The Thames threads the city together. On its banks stand the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge and the long South Bank walk past the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey anchor the older skyline, while glass towers crowd the financial district.
