Tony Awards and Nominations for Hadestown

his folk opera follows Orpheus' mythical quest to overcome Hades and regain the favor of his one true love, Eurydice. Together we travel from wide open plains where love and music are not enough nourishment to survive the winter, down to Hadestown, an industrialized world of mindless labor and full stomachs. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Anais Mitchell's beguiling melodies and poetic imagination pit nature against industry, faith against doubt, and love against death.
