Getty presents “Cupid’s Eros,” a Valentine’s cabaret with mythological creatures performing songs of passion.

The masters of musical mirth are targeting the bullseye as emcees Cupid and Aphrodite host guests for an hour-long, family-friendly, song-filled sojourn with classic characters from antiquity. See Medusa and Perseus, Achilles and Patroclus, Prometheus and Fire, Pandora and her Box, Odysseus and Persephone, Polyphemus and Sheep, and others, sing and dance for a chance at romance.

Classic love songs from the 1970s-80s will be performed from artists and musicals, including Billy Preston, Air Supply, Bonnie Tyler, Engelbert Humperdinck, Pat Benatar, Queen and Chicago.

“We’re so happy that our love affair with the Getty Villa audiences will continue in February at Cupid’s Eros! I can’t think of a more beautiful and romantic venue to celebrate Valentine’s Day,” said Matt Walker, artistic director of Troubadour Theater.

The cast includes Malynda Hale, Suzanne Jolie Narbonne, Heather Youmans, Cloie Wyatt Taylor, Rick Batalla, Philip McNiven, Jimmy Lambert, Isaac Robinson-Smith and Matt Walker.

Cupid’s Eros is part of the Getty Villa Museum’s theater program, presenting reinterpretations of Greek and Roman classical plays through play readings, theater labs, premiere presentations and the annual outdoor theater production.

Troubadour Theater is a free-wheeling, no holds barred, Commedia Del Arte flavored, slapstick driven Los Angeles based theatrical performance and event company – made up of actors, musicians and comedians that has been performing for audiences throughout Southern California and beyond since 1995.

Directed by Matt Walker, the performances will take place at the Getty Villa on Feb. 9-11 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $35, and can be purchased online at getty.edu/visit/cal/events/ev_4066.html. Each performance will be followed with a glass of prosecco and a chocolate treat. The cabaret is co-produced by Troubadour Theater. The Getty Villa is located 17985 Pacific Coast Highway.
