Maria-Christina Oliveras back as Persephone when national tour stops in San Jose.
Persephone copes with life in the underworld in “Hadestown.” The North American Tour will be presented by Broadway San Jose Sept. 26-Oct. 1. After recovering from an injury, Maria-Christina Oliveras returned to the role of Persephone in the North American tour of “Hadestown” in April. The tour’s stop in the Bay Area this month represents a milestone of sorts for the performer.
Unlike her character, whose time away from her role as the bringer of spring leads to drunken depression, Oliveras wasn’t idle during her recovery. She was medically cleared to take the role of Church Lady in “Between Riverside and Crazy” on Broadway while on hiatus from “Hadestown.” “Anais is a poet, and her music is stunning,” Oliveras says, adding that the show “is very much an epic poem set to music.”
Persephone may be at the end of her tether in “Hadestown,” but unlike the goddess of the original Greek myth, who gets kidnapped and transported to the underworld, she’s with Hades by choice.
