Rockoper von Günter Werno, Andy Kuntz, Stephan Lill & Johannes Reitmeier nach John Miltons epischem Gedicht PARADISE LOSTSzenenfolge und Textfassung von Andy...

John Milton's eloquent epic verse PARADISE LOST from 1667 tells of the fall of the fallen angels into hell, Satan's rebellion against God's order, how sin came into the world and the temptation of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from it Garden of Eden. In his text, Milton refers to various biblical sources from both the Old and New Testaments, but he also takes up motifs from ancient texts such as Homer and Virgil.

In its time, the work was read as a parable of the English Civil War in the mid-17th century, in later epochs one saw and sees in the text a representation of the moral dilemma of man to be able to distinguish between good and evil.

After the rock mystery EVERYMAN (2015), the VANDEN PLAS musicians Günter Werno, Andy Kuntz and Stephan Lill, together with Johannes Reitmeier, once again premiere a great stage work in the style of a medieval morality game as a rock opera. The anthemic, opulent sound of Germany's leading Prog Metal band VANDEN PLAS seems almost predestined to set Milton's epic with its powerful images between heaven, paradise and hell to music.
