Tomorrow tune into NPR's Weekend Edition for an interview with Anais Mitchell. Anais has been hard at work on Hadestown,
a folk-opera based on a modern interpretation of the Orpheus myth
featuring some of the best voices in indie music today. Hitting shelves
on March 9, this incredible album features Anais as Eurydice, Justin
Vernon (Bon Iver) as Orpheus, Ani DiFranco as Persephone, Greg Brown as
Hades, Ben Knox Miller (The Low Anthem) as Hermes, and the Haden
Triplets as the Fates.
In the words of Thom Jurek for All Music Guide, “Artfully conceived, articulated, and produced, Hadestown raises Mitchell's creative bar exponentially: there isn't anything else remotely like it.”
