Orpheus, at the Battersea Arts Centre

This amazing and amazingly funny show is back at Battersea Arts Centre next year!

Prepare to be transported to 1930s Paris where legendary musician, Django Reinhardt, has been cast as the lead in a new production of Orpheus.

Your host for the evening is the charismatic songstress Yvette Pépin. With her troupe of operatic players she will perform the thrilling tale of Orpheus’s ill-fated descent into the underworld to reclaim his lost love, Eurydice.

Set to a live score of hot club jazz, opera and French chanson, Orpheus is a musical re-imagining of the Greek myth.

Battersea Arts Centre’s opulent Grand Hall complete with its majestic 20th Century organ will become a 1930s music hall, providing the setting for a glamorous and unique night out in a bygone era.
