Sondheims Musical-Meisterwerk erzählt die Moritat von einem mordenden Barbier und seiner gewissenlosen, die Opfer zu Fleischpasteten verarbeitenden Komplizin...

Fifteen years ago, Judge Turpin exiled barber Benjamin Barker so he could have sex with his wife in private. Full of hatred for the corrupt world in general and the judge in particular, Barker returns to London under the alias Sweeney Todd and wants revenge. He takes up his old craft again and from now on lets his adversaries with the razor feel what they deserve. His landlady, the greedy pie maker Mrs. Lovett, quickly turns the lifeless remnants of his bloody work into a morbidly delicious ingredient for her meat pies - and the latter soon become a bestseller...

Fascinated by the grotesque theatrics and the socio-critical potential of the drama set in Victorian London about the murderous barber and his unscrupulous accomplice, musical mastermind Stephen Sondheim created a lustfully macabre “black operetta”. In it, the bloodthirsty events are commented on with deep black humour, memorable ballads and eerily beautiful ensemble numbers in the style of a ballad singer. Inspired by the soundtracks of various horror films, Sondheim's musical version of the dime horror novel tells a pointed story about a man's bloody protest against political despotism, corruption and greed for profit - and thus created an award-winning masterpiece.
