We owe the creation of the musical to an American radio broadcast in autumn 1973 about Eva Peron, whom Tim Rice, songwriter, followed with interest and the person Evita Peron captured him so much that he traveled to Argentina a few months later to find out more about this unusual one Biography to find out about this strong woman. “Of course, not all fantastic stories are real. But even the most truthful account of the short life of this extraordinary woman is enough to leave even the most critical minds speechless, "admits the songwriter.
In the musical EVITA we also recognize her radiant beauty, her stylish appearance and her dazzling charisma, which gave the Argentine people so much hope, and made the former President's wife Maria Eva Duarte de Peron the "Spiritual Leader" of her nation during her lifetime Today she is an icon to the people, she is deeply venerated as a caring benefactress, even as a saint for her fight against the misery in the country.
In their powerfully told musical story, the successful duo, Andrew Lloyd Webber, music and Tim Rice, song lyrics, next to the protagonists Evita and Juan Peron, the figure of the revolutionary student Che and later terrorist, the Argentine Che Guevara, who as an opponent of the important The career of the ambitious 15-year-old Evita, in the musical, up to her celebrated state funeral in a visually powerful flashback, sometimes commented on with well-meaning sympathy, sometimes with cynical criticism.
As different as the characters of the two are, his existence, dominated by murder and manslaughter in foreign countries, their life with kindness, money and donations for the people, are closely linked in their goals to declare war on misery.
