Hadestown
Hadestown
Selected repertoire for soprano / lyric soprano
Music and lyrics by Anaïs Mitchell
“Flowers”
A haunting, intimate solo for Eurydice. This is an especially
valuable selection for a singer who can combine lyricism with
vulnerability, emotional storytelling, and a contemporary
musical-theatre style.
The representative performance is Eva Noblezada with the
Original Broadway Company. A useful alternative performance
search is “Flowers Hadestown Eva Noblezada live.”
“All I’ve Ever Known”
A warm, lyrical love song with substantial Eurydice material.
It is particularly attractive for a lyric soprano because it
provides opportunities for legato singing, tenderness,
intimacy, and conversational musical-theatre delivery.
The karaoke track includes the complete accompaniment and
on-screen lyrics. The Broadway version is a duet between
Eurydice and Orpheus.
“Gone, I’m Gone”
A short, darker selection with a more dramatic and urgent
quality. It can be particularly effective for a soprano with
a strong lower-middle register and an ability to bring
intensity and character to contemporary musical theatre.
The representative performance is from the Original Broadway
Cast Recording, featuring Eva Noblezada with the Fates.
