Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus In The Underworld is one of the most popular and most performed operettas in the World. It is also recognised as one of Offenbach's greatest masterworks. Originally written in French, this JAY digital recording of the English National Opera production is the only full recording of the great score in English. The score of course contains the perennial favourite, the CAN CAN. The English National Opera production which opened to great critical and public acclaim starred such international British stars as Sally Burgess, Lilian Watson, Stuart Kale and Richard Angas. It was conducted by Mark Elder.
