In Jacques Offenbach's operetta "Orpheus in the Underworld", Pluto arrives on Olympus with a stick of sausage and on skis, and the Olympian gods, tired of ambrosia, are ready to stage a revolution. Jupiter, meanwhile, turns into a fly, seduces Eurydice and gives himself up to love with her in the guise of an insect, buzzing most comically. A rather entertaining reworking of the ancient myth. I recommend watching the production with the eccentric Natalie Dessay.
