Hadestown: Music and Mythology  photo
Experience the myth and music of the acclaimed musical sensation Hadestown with a special performance by cast and musicians from the acclaimed West End production, set against the epic backdrop of the V&A’s Medieval and Renaissance Gallery.

A joyful combination of folk, jazz and blues, this Tony® and Grammy Award-winning hit musical intertwines two ancient Greek mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone – taking audiences on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back.

Experience the music of Hadestown like never before, as the West End cast perform a selection of songs from the show, surrounded by sculptural depictions of figures from Greek mythology.

Come and see how the world could be.
