CLINTON, N.Y. — Adelaide J. Fuller, daughter of Donald and Kimberly Fuller of Peru, and a sophomore at Hamilton College, is appearing in the college’s choir musical “Orpheus in the Underworld.” The musical is being staged Friday and Saturday, Feb. 6 and 7, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 8 at 2 p.m., all in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center, on the Hamilton campus.
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.
Fuller is a graduate of Dirigo High School.
