hadestown cast + titles.
“It was a world of gods, and men.”
"The real moral of Hadestown to me is, yes, we’re fucked, but we still have to try with all our might. We have to love hard and make beauty in the face of futility. That’s the essence of what Persephone sings at the end of the show: “Some birds sing when the sun shines bright / my praise is not for them, but the one who sings in the dead of night / I raise my cup to him.”"- Anais Mitchell (via theredshoes)
Nabiyah Be and Damon Daunno as Eurydice and Orpheus in Hadestown at New York Theatre Workshop.
“Hadestown is a folk opera based on the orpheus myth and set in a post-apocalyptic american depression era…” - from the albums website
This album is one of my all-time favorites. It features a killer cast of musicians (Ani Difranco, Justin Vernon, etc.), who manage to bring to life a story that is centuries old. The songs are beautifully written, and the tale of Orpheus is conveyed wonderfully through the music. Please give it a listen here.
The Grammy nominated album art is by Peter Nevins.
