Patrick O'Connor enjoys another operetta from the comic master.
Orphee aux enfers
There's trouble in Paradise when Jupiter and Pluto both fall for the mortal charms of Orpheus's wife Eurydice.
She really prefers life in the Underworld, and Orpheus, a music teacher from Thebes, would rather she stayed down there. Unfortunately, Public Opinion has other ideas and the gods and goddesses refuse to stay behind in Olympus while the heat is on in Hades.
