The underworld never sounded so sweet. Singer and songwriter Anaïs Mitchell lifts the land of the dead to Durango with her presentation of “Colorado Sings ‘Hadestown.’”
Mitchell puts a modern twist on the classic Greek tale of Orpheus and his love, Eurydice, creating a “folk opera” set in a past, present and future United States. “Hadestown,” the title of Mitchell’s latest album, is considered a “love story” set in a destitute time with music influenced by classic American folk forms such as country gospel, ragtime, blues and early jazz to approximations of rock, swing and avant-garde.
Along the route of Mitchell’s national tour, she incorporates local artists into each show. Mitchell will play the role of Eurydice, with Reed Foehl as Hades, KC Groves as Persephone, Jefferson Hamer as Orpheus and Esme Patterson, Sarah Anderson, Genny Patterson as The Fates. All will be backed by Michael Chorney and the Hadestown Orchestra.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. For additional information, call 247-7657 or visit www.durangoconcerts.com.
