Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Sondheim

Public

Approved

Sondheim’s musical about the demonic barber has gathered a cult following on its worldwide victory tour. Now Sweeney Todd can be experienced at the Royal Danish Theatre.

Stephen Sondheim’s razor-sharp musical is about hard-working barber Benjamin Barker, who is unfairly banished to Australia by vile Judge Turpin. Turpin muscles in on the barber’s family, both the wife and daughter, and the barber’s anger and helplessness at the rough injustice boil over. He is transformed from a decent man into a monster by the name of Sweeney Todd. Demonic Sweeney Todd slits his customers’ throats and supplies his downstairs neighbour, Mrs Lovett, with fresh meat for her production of tasty meat pies.

Sondheim’s musical became a huge blockbuster and has been performed all over the world. American cult director Tim Burton’s film version starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd made the musical of the barber from Fleet Street even more popular, if that were possible, with a broad  audience spanning all ages. 

A range of opera houses around the world have given Sondheim’s hair-raising and humorous show top billing, and the Royal Opera is looking forward to presenting Sondheim’s classic featuring songs and musical scenarios that shine like a freshly sharpened cut-throat razor. The show is a seamless succession of musical highlights accentuating the Gothic tale of a predominantly evil world shudderingly full of macabre, gory madness. 

Sweeney Todd is a full-blooded show of righteous indignation that fuels a bonfire of raging hatred. See the show before your neighbour, and beware of pies.

The opera is performed in english with danish surtitles.
