About

Step into the dazzling world of Orpheus in the Underworld, a ballet bursting with wit, glamour, and irresistible charm! Loosely inspired by Jacques Offenbach’s comic operetta, this 1920s set production features flapper girls, Mafia henchmen, Can-Can dancers, and even a penthouse swimming pool for the Gods! With music specially arranged by Michael Tuffin.


With choreography by Veronica Paeper, and original designs by Peter Cazalet, this ballet is a riotous romp through love, mischief, and divine chaos. When Eurydice runs off with Pluto, Orpheus is thrilled, but meddling gods and a nightclub underworld ensure hilarity and spectacle. A timeless crowd-pleaser, this production promises pure entertainment and unforgettable fun!
