| | ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD
Directed by Kaley Karis Smith
Conducted by Dean Buck

A journey to Hell and back unlike any other, "Orpheus in the Underworld" is "Saturday Night Live" meets Greek myth set to music that will have you dancing in your seat!
Those familiar with "Hadestown," "Moulin Rouge" and the Percy Jackson franchise will feel right at home in the Underworld.
A comedic katabasis filled with characters from Greek and Roman mythology, "Orpheus in the Underworld" will explore the Orphic myth like you've never seen before. Offenbach's first opera was written as a satirical lampoon against the court of Emperor Napoleon III, but feels just as relevant now as it did when it premiered in 1858.
In this opera, we follow Eurydice and Orpheus through infidelity, death and a not-so-welcome reunion with plenty of shenanigans along the way, guided by the intimidating force of Public Opinion, the embodiment of social expectations.

Dirk Garner, conductor

Gamble Auditorium, Kulas Musical Arts Building
Georg Frederic Handel’s Messiah is perhaps the most-often performed piece of classical music. Its famous “Hallelujah” chorus even rolls off the tongues of children. It is a work of healing and comfort. We are thrilled to present this infamous Baroque work for the first time at the Baldwin Wallace Bach Festival. The music is celebratory, passionate, and profound, worthy of its place alongside Bach.

| | THE THREE SISTERS
By Anton Chekov / Translation by Sarah Ruhl
Directed By David Alford
Thursday - Saturday, April 24 - 26 @ 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, April 27 @ 2:00 p.m.
Blackbox Theatre, Kleist Center for Art and Drama
The Prozorov sisters – Olga, Masha, and Irina – dream of escaping their small Russian town and returning to Moscow. Over the course of several years, we are immersed in their lives, and the lives of those around them, as they long for a more meaningful existence. In this seminal masterpiece, Chekhov abandons traditional dramatic storytelling and instead focuses on the arc of his characters’ emotional journeys and inner motivations. First produced by the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901, and co-directed by the legendary acting teacher Constantin Stanislavsky, the play toured worldwide, profoundly altering the course of modern drama. It’s about the elusive pursuit of happiness, and it’s just as vital today. | Get Tickets | |
