Por qué España sería el destino perfecto para HADESTOWN

Es una canción antigua, una canción triste, pero vamos a cantarla de nuevo. El mito de Orfeo y Eurídice ha sido adaptado y contado de cientos de maneras distintas a lo largo de los siglos, pero hay algo en él que hace que volvamos a él, como si a partir de contarlo una y otra vez pudiésemos cambiar ese trágico final que, aunque inevitable, siempre nos rompe el corazón.
