West Side Story Bernstein

Public

Approved

The finger-snapping of street gangs, the wailing of police sirens, the flying skirts of Puerto Rican women over the rooftops of New York, eternal love and fatal enmity in the run-down backyards of the West Side - just a few notes of Leonard Bernstein's brilliant compositions are enough to evoke images like these .
Bernstein combined a wide variety of musical elements: jazz elements, classical opera and Latin American dance music. "Maria", "Tonight", "Somewhere", "America" ​​and "I Feel Pretty": With the Broadway premiere in 1957, an entire genre was redefined in terms of music and dance. Composer Leonard Bernstein, choreographer Jerome Robbins and author Stephen Sondheim transfer Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" to New York City in the 1950s in a courageous, realistic and vital way.
The love story takes place against the background of a gang war between rival ethnic youth gangs: the US Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. 

In the new production for the Felsenbühne Festival, well-known soloists from the musical scene can be seen in addition to ensemble members from drama, dance and music theater from the Landesbühnen Sachsen.

The premiere performance was directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins. The performance rights are transferred in agreement with
MUSIC THEATER INTERNATIONAL (EUROPE) LTD London, through MUSIK UND BÜHNE Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Wiesbaden
