Jesus Christ Superstar by Lloyd Webber, чет 03 авг 2023, от (2023/2023), Режисиран от Stefan Huber, диригент Christoph Wohlleben, Stiftsruine, Bad Hersfeld, Germany

Jesus a superstar? It sounds like God's son went into show business! Judas fears that Jesus is losing control of his adoring fan base, putting himself and his followers at risk. In order to save Jesus, he fatally entrusts himself to the high priest Caiaphas. And so everything comes as it must. The last days of the Passion story are told in the musical from the perspective of Judas, Jesus' friend and betrayer: the entry into Jerusalem, the expulsion of the merchants from the temple, Mary Magdalene's love for Jesus, the dispute between Jesus and Judas and the betrayal, the last supper, Herod's judgement, the way of the cross and Jesus' death on the cross. Jesus Christ Superstar is a story about glory and an idol's final journey, about worship and hate, faith and doubt, friendship and betrayal, despair and hope, the birth of a world religion - and warns against faith turning into fanaticism. The rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who was still completely unknown at the time, premiered in 1971 and has been one of the most successful stage plays of all time ever since. The fabric is made for the monastery ruins! Whether Funny Girl 2019, Titanic 2017/18, Kiss me Kate 2014 or Anatevka 2012 - Stefan Huber's previous works in the monastery ruins have not only been convincing, they have repeatedly inspired critics and the public. The orchestra of the Bad Hersfeld Festival plays under the direction of Christoph Wohlleben.
