Orpheus in the Underworld

Orpheus in the Underworld (1974) is a comedy, drama, fantasy directed by Horst Bonnet rated 7.5/10.

This musical comedy based on an opera by Jacques Offenbach incorporates a twist on the classic Greek myth: Orpheus, a music teacher at a girls’ school in the ancient Greek city of Thebes, actually does not miss his wife Eurydice that much – until the gods and Offenbach himself pressure him to retrieve her from Hades.
