About

Offenbach’s satirical Orpheus in the Underworld turns ancient myth into comic opera at its most playful. Eurydice has had enough of Orpheus, he’s not exactly heartbroken, and the gods are too busy partying to care.

With a sparkling score featuring the famous cancan, sharp humour and fast-paced dialogue. Join us for a joyful journey to the underworld where laughter, mayhem, and Offenbach’s irresistible music reign supreme!

Pick a Price

About Pick a Price

We believe passionately that the arts are for everyone, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our ‘Pick A Price’ events give everyone a chance to experience live performances at a price they can afford. With the cost of living increasing, we know that accessing cultural events can be difficult for many in our audience. The Pick A Price model offers people who can afford to pay the going rate - or more - the chance to support others who can’t.
