Anaïs Mitchell- Hadestown- SongBird/ Gone/ ChipsDown

[@SunniestAutumn]

This Hades is good, but I prefer when they hired an actual mountain to sing his parts.

[@sydney6598]

Honestly was expecting the Super Low like the album but this is good too

[@arielthequeen890]

I love to see how this show has evolved over the years. Every iteration is great.

[@maddiebarraclough7812]

I know it's meant to be a seduction, but - more so in the recorded album than this - Hades seems more fatherly towards Eurydice to me? Like, he's not sexual towards her at all, just offering her a way out because he's concerned for her; he's not evil, he clearly believes he's right.

[@moist_spinach]

I know this comment was made five years ago but - yeah, it's kinda like a seduction song, but not quite literally? I guess? To me, I don't think Hades is attracted to Eurydice, at least in the later versions of the musical. It has those undertones, though. As for the father thing, I kinda disagree because he doesn't really care about her well-being,he's more like using her? He thinks he's right, yes. He really cares about Persephone and tries to build all these things for her bc he doesn't believe that love can last without riches to keep her put.

[@alisonoconnor6864]

This is super different. Like its more subdued and there's such a melancholic tone that this performance is both different and glorious. And while the Hades here was excellent, I did a double take at the sound cause like, wow, I've never heard that song sung by someone with a tenor/baritone voice. It legit threw me for a loop, but I definitely loved the way he did it.

[@danielhortonmusic]

This is performed in the style of the original concept album, at least in the instrumentation. It stars Bon Iver as Orpheus. Highly recommend if you haven't already listened to it.

[@alisonoconnor6864]

@@danielhortonmusic I've definitely listened to it since I saw this video but I was so used to Patrick Page on both the Broadway and Live recordings that this was jarring. Wonderful but unexpected.

[@EmmaLangfordMusic]

this just makes me immeasurably happy, I'd give anything to gather enough musicians and singers to perform this and do it justice..

[@tobealostwanderer]

Im so used to Patrick's voice that I cant listen to this because his voice is too high xD

[@JeffJacobsMusic]

Anais Mitchell wrote a brilliant opera and everybody should see it. Jacqueline Stem, I had no idea you performed in this show! What a beautiful coincidence. Everybody should listen to her record "Steams of Consciousness" It's also brilliant.

[@Ergoperidot]

Now everyone has lmao

[@karlwilker579]

Great news...

[@justinfischer1822]

Would love to see this whole performance. Just from what I've seen, it's a great live rendition of a great album

[@NikiNack13]

The music is enchanting!

[@operaghost21]

This is SO wonderful! It's a shame the whole performance isn't up here!

[@pottered_popo9455]

Going through these, im finding a lot of art frpm the show!

[@pretendingtoeatthesun9556]

His voice feels like a cold drink of water after listening to the OBCR for years. It's different but I like it too.

[@okelydokely2]

Wow!

[@driggery]

Awesome.

[@MadChef82]

Does anyone know where I can find the complete recording of this concert?

[@MrFrancescocorso]

@goozervanpanpake please see description of video. You ll find info

[@goozervanpancake]

Any one know who the accompanying musicians are?

[@jellyfishyishy]

I prefer Anais as Eurydice

[@W40kenzie]

I feel only a true bass should play hades

[@ashtxnparris8224]

i’m sorry he’s a good singer but this song sounds so much better with an actual bass or at least a low baritone who can sing in the actual octave

[@ammarul-haq4300]

Don't think this was a bass part until Patrick Page took up the role.

[@ashtxnparris8224]

@@ammarul-haq4300 sorry I was dumb when I commented this a year ago, what you said is technically true, basically what happened is when they formulating his character they experimented with baritones and tenors, then it was decided to get a true bass and for that they found Patrick

[@ammarul-haq4300]

@@ashtxnparris8224 oop I should've checked the date that's my bad lmao but yeah you're right I love what Patrick Page brings to the role, I do wonder if a high tenor Hades could ever work (bc I think a bass Orpheus could work)

[@bluevision4213]

​​@@ammarul-haq4300 Greg Bird sung it on the original concept album, Patrick Page performs the song very similarly to him
