A telling of the Orpheus/Eurydice (Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada) love story. I should have known things would not turn out happy. Hermes (André De Shields) the narrator kept sing "it's a sad song." The story also recounts the love of Hades and Persephone (Patrick Page and Amber Gray). Hades had a boot on his leg and determined this was not part of the character but an actor playing the part with an injury. Hades has a very deep voice, and Orpheus is a high tenor. I really like his song, which he must sing to win his love's release. I did not like the ending, but it was sealed by the fates make this a true Greek Romance. So we start the story again hoping for a better ending. The music is haunting and very effective. Hades, Hermes, Orpheus, Eurydice and Persephone are all very strong musically.
