Back in 2010, way before the Tony Awards, lightbulb walls, and massive chorus-dudes, Hadestown sprung to life as a concept album: a folk opera conceived by Anas Mitchell, released through Ani DiFrancos Righteous Babe label. Mitchell sang the part of Eurydice opposite Justin Vernons Orpheus, and she tapped DiFranco for Persephone, Hadess vernal goddess wife.
