Comments: How can you go wrong with a folk opera about Orpheus and Eurydice? Okay, well a lot of ways, but none of them are present in Hadestown, a folk rock opera (very much like Hazards of Love) by Anais Mitchell and featuring a cast of characters such as Justin Vernon (Bon Iver himself) as Orpheus and Ani DiFranco as Persephone. Set in a "futuristic town in the U.S. that evokes our depression-era past and our current financial disaster... Hadestown is packed with irresistible memories and...of plainspoken poetry." "Way Down Hadestown" is a jazzy bayou stomp and "Wedding" features a haunting duet between Mitchell and Vernon.
