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.

In the nineteenth century, seventeen year old Effi Briest is married to the older Baron von Instetten and moves into a house that she believes has a ghost.
