I know it would defeat the purpose of the tragedy, but I want to see an adaptation where Eurydice makes it out of the underworld. Maybe Orpheus gouges his own eyes out so he literally CAN'T look back at her. They've both suffered for so long, I just want them to have a happy ending for once, is that too much to ask?

A fellow longing for a lover is soon out of bed; He’s up and eager to discover the day still ahead. Free to roam the fields for hours, the meadows in bloom, Off he goes to gather flowers- Need I say for whom? Need I say for whom? For whom? Ah-ah, ah, ahhhh....

But not a whisper to the others, by the way: I go to bring my handsome lover my bouquet. To him I go, with eyes aglow, And only we two are to know- And only we two are to know!

His face is always in my fancies, so pensive and sweet. Each day I gather pinks and pansies to lay at his feet. O, what fortune to be single, for can I deny That my heart is all a-tingle? Are you asking why? Are you asking why? You ask? Ah-ah, ah, ahhhh...

But not a whisper to the others, need I add! I tingle not for them, but for my handsome lad. To him I go, with eyes aglow, And only we two are to know- And only we two are to know!

had a dream where i was watching a production of orphée aux enfers but it was a Good Family Friendly Production so the fly duet was done entirely in old video game graphics (jupiter and eurydice were playing video games ig) and the natalie dessay-esque cadenza at the end of the fly duet was done as one of those game things where you hit a button a bunch of times really quickly to get your character as high up as possible lmao

OTD in Music History: Composer and conductor Jacques Offenbach (1819 - 1889) conducts the world premiere of his first full-length operetta, and the biggest hit of his career, “Orphee aux enfers” (“Orpheus in the Underworld”) – featuring the (in)famous “Can-Can” dance – at his little "Theatre des Bouffes-Parisiens" in Paris in 1858. Today, Offenbach is best remembered for his pioneering work as the creator of a type of light burlesque French comic opera popularly known as “operetta,” which became one of the most characteristic "pop" musical products of the latter half of the 19th Century. Offenbach combined a remarkably fluent and elegant musical style with a highly developed sense of both characterization and satire – indeed, no less an expert on matters of the theater than legendary "opera buffa" composer Giacchino Rossini (1792 - 1868) dubbed him “our little Mozart of the Champs-Elysees.” In many ways, both directly and indirectly, Offenbach can fairly be said to be the great-grandfather of the theatrical genre now commonly referred to as the “musical.” PICTURED: A c. 1900 real photo postcard showing the middle aged Offenbach at the height of his career, dressed to the nines and looking every bit the showman.

There's a bird outside my window that keeps chirping this:

And it keeps distracting me because my brain keeps adding this at the end:

Just a great song that is sampled in Super Mario Land and Mr. Do! Some people call it 'can-can music' for some reason.
