Lehár Festival Bad Ischl 2025: Orpheus in the Underworld
The Lehár Festival Bad Ischl4 July to 24 August 2025
The Lehár Festival Bad Ischl is the largest operetta festival in Europe and unique in its diversity and quality. Every summer, musical entertainment theatre at the highest level is presented to an international audience. This time you can look forward to the following oparette in the imperial city of Bad Ischl.
Orpheus in the Underworld (Orpheus in der Unterwelt)
When the famous Can-Can is danced in hell, when God the Father Jupiter disguises himself as a fly to seduce his adored Euridice, who in turn is bored with her husband and is kidnapped by Pluto, the devil himself, when the Greek gods become rebels in heaven – and all this before the eyes of public opinion, then, Dear audience, you are in the universe of Orpheus in the underworld.
This masterpiece with the incomparable music of Jaques Offenbach is considered the original operetta par excellence and is certainly one of the funniest and most frivolous ever written.
Artistic director Thomas Enzinger will stage this ingenious, hilarious heart of the operetta and bring it to the stage for the first time in Bad Ischl.
