CLINTON, N.Y. — Amelia E. Denney, daughter of Martha Denney of Haverford, Pa., and Waterville, and Ewan Good of Farmington, and a sophomore at Hamilton College, recently appeared in the College’s choir musical “Orpheus in the Underworld.” The musical was staged Feb. 6-8 in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center, on the Hamilton campus, according to a news release from the college.
In this hilarious spoof on all the serious operas about Orpheus and Eurydice, Orpheus is delighted when Pluto takes Eurydice off to the Underworld and seeks to win her back only at the insistence of Public Opinion. Meanwhile, all the gods and goddesses on Olympus, bored with nectar and ambrosia, revolt against Jupiter and make their way to the Underworld as well, and Jupiter’s habit of turning himself into something else in order to seduce a mortal woman takes an unusual turn, according to the release.
Denney is a graduate of Waterville High School.
