Review: OPERA À LA CARTE'S ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Del Mar
by Ron Bierman - Oct 6, 2025
What did our critic think of OPERA À LA CARTE'S PRODUCTION OF OFFENBACH'S ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD at St. Peter's Episcopal Church Of Del Mar? With even large companies struggling to survive, why did soprano and voice teacher Abla Hamza decide to found Opera À La Carte? Her goals were laudable. As national opportunities continued to shrink, she wanted to provide new ones to local professional opera singers and attract San Diegoans new to opera with lower cost tickets and less intimidating venues. But could she succeed during such a difficult period? Opera À La Carte began with vocal recitals at small venues, and last year graduated to its first full opera.

ORFEO AN LOS INFIERNOS Comes to Teatro Colon
by Stephi Wild - Oct 21, 2024
Orfeo en los infiernos es una opereta francesa compuesta por Jacques Offenbach, con libreto de Hector Crémieux y Ludovic Halévy. Se considera la primera opereta larga, ya que las obras anteriores de Offenbach eran de un solo acto. Orfeo no solo es más larga, sino que también presenta un enfoque musical más audaz.

ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD Arrives at Rockdale Opera Company
by Kristen Morale - Jul 8, 2016
With an original libretto by Hector Cremieux and Ludovac Halevy and now directed by Ralph Bott and orchestrated by Jon Smith, this version is based on 2nd version, of 1874. The sub-title is Opera Feerie which translates as "extravaganza", and in 1874 it was an absolute extravaganza. The cast was comprised of 42 named principals; 100 choristers (men, women and children), and sufficient dancers for four Grand Ballets (10 Principals, 16 corphees and 60 dames des corps de ballet) … A grand total of 228 performers Offenbach's comic, bitingly satirical, witty and occasionally "naughty" parody of the tragic Orpheus legend involving the Mount Olympus Gods of classical Greek mythology is a farcical, merry romp that has delighted audiences the world over since its Paris premiere in 1858.
