About the Opera: In one of the most satirical and hilarious operas of all time, Orpheus must travel from the pastoral tranquility of earth through the dizzying frivolity of heaven to the bacchanalian hedonism of Hades to rescue Eurydice. Climaxing in the exuberant, reveling “Can-Can”, Orpheus in the Underworld is a comic romp of epic proportions.

Roles Available: 7 men and 7 women plus a large singing and dancing ensemble.

Audition Process: Please sign up for auditions online here, and then prepare one or more of the audition cuts from the Orpheus audition packet which can be picked up on the Theatre callboard outside of Carver 310 or the main office in Music Hall. Callbacks will be held on Tuesday, August 28.
