Musical cabaret unfolding the myths surrounding Aphrodite through musical theatre, opera and jazz repertoire.

An evening of myths surrounding the Greek Goddess Aphrodite highlighted by musical theatre, opera, and jazz repertoire. We are thrown into the world of higher beings, as Aphrodite is fretfully torn from the love of her life, Ares, sanctioned as a gift by Zeus for marriage to Hephaestus, and falls lovesick for the mortal Adonis …this musical cabaret poses the timeless question, can love conquer all?
