From Disney dogs and cats to the acclaimed Kronos Quartet and Stanford Jazz Fest, there is a lot to see and hear this weekend.
The fair Eurydice has had it up to here with her sketchy fiddle-playing husband Orpheus and takes up with the shepherd Aristeus, who turns out to be Pluto, whom she willingly accompanies to his kingdom waaaay down below. That’s just the beginning of the tomfoolery in composer Jacques Offenbach’s “Orpheus in the Underworld,” a hilarious and satirical burlesque on Greek mythology that incorporates Jupiter , Juno, Cupid, Mercury, Mars, Minerva and, of course, the wine-swilling Bacchus in the cast.
Soprano Amy Foote sings as Eurydice, tenor Andrew Metzger is Pluto, and tenor Nathanael Fleming is Orpheus, who, truth be told, couldn’t care less if he gets Eurydice back or not. You’ll surely recognize the tune when the second act ends with everyone cavorting around to Offenbach’s famous can-can.Walnut Creek-based Festival Opera is gearing up for its 2023 season by tempting opera lovers to a free concert at 6 p.m. June 22 in Orinda Community Park at 28 Orinda Way.
