Songs for a New World by Brown, J. R., sø. 23 okt. 2022, Fra (2022/2022), I regi av Alexander Kratzer, Dirigent Hansjörg Sofka, Kammerspiele, Innsbruck, Austria

“A new world is clearly calling me. She makes me doubt what will happen next. She's waiting, brimming with promise," sings a woman with confidence in Songs For A New World.. But a new world can also look very different. A moment is enough and everything dissolves that seemed certain. In 16 songs, composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown tells stories of people who are at a turning point in their lives. Do they dare step into a new world that may be better than the past or present? Are you forced to adjust to a new situation? Or do they only dream of a bright future that ultimately remains unattainable? Two women and two men slip into different roles, describe the inner conflicts of their characters and sing songs for a new world that appears completely different for everyone. The revue, which premiered in 1995, marks the beginning of the successful career of Jason Robert Brown, who has already received three Tony awards. In his works, the American always succeeds in combining the show character with contemporary sounds. In Songs For A New World , the composer uses different styles: swing, gospel, funk, pop, jazz or rhythm and blues - every character and every situation receives its own music. And with every song a door opens into a new world. A new world is calling me from afar. She calls me, enticing like music. WOMAN 1
