Last week Marco, Roger and I went to Amsterdam to see the play Hadestown at Royal Theatre Carré.
We had front row balcony seats (thanks Roger!).
Here’s a closer look at the stage before the play started:
Here’s the description from Carré’s website:
“Two ancient love stories are woven into one bold and modern retelling: that of the young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. When Eurydice makes an irreversible choice, Orpheus sets out to save not only her, but the entire world—with a song that brings spring back to life and a stirring dose of hope.”
I thought it was a pretty good musical. It’s not at the top of the list of musicals I’ve seen, but it is always fun to go to the Carré. The musical was also in English. Certain shows had English subtitles for Dutch speakers (if you look at the first photo, you’ll see black boxes to the left and right of the stage where the subtitles show up). And it was definitely a fun night out with the boys!
