This parody by French composer Jacques Offenbach of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice turns the original story around for an operetta.

The mythology tells how Orpheus goes into the Underworld  to try to get Eurydice back after she has been killed.

He makes a pact with Pluto, the keeper of the Underworld, that Eurydice can follow him out but she would be lost forever if he was to look back.

Offenbach's retelling has Orpheus and Eurydice unable to tolerate each other. She is only too happy to leave him and have some fun with Pluto.

Couple this situation with a group of gods bored with heaven and top god Jupiter chasing girls all the time.

And the stage is set for the famous can-can dance together with much naughtiness and debauchery to make this operetta a favourite.

It is offered here in a new English translation which allows the university’s students to entertain in a rip-roaring spectacle.
