Jesus Christ Superstar

Description

Despite the outrage of conservative church circles, Andrew Lloyd Webber's work quickly became a cult musical and an expression of rebellious youth in times of upheaval. Songs like "I don’t know how to love him" and "Superstar" have also become big hits beyond the stage. Music, Love, and Action revolve around deep philosophical questions at the core.

The rock opera tells the last days in the life of Jesus Christ with the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, his arrest at the Mount of Gethsemane, the condemnation by Pilate, and his crucifixion. With this, Lloyd Webber and Rice place themselves in the tradition of the great passion music of Bach, Telemann, or Schütz in a modern variation. With powerful music, the work deals with timeless current questions: Was Jesus more than a man? Truly the Son of God? Or just a media-made superstar? Was his death solely the fault of the traitor Judas? And is the love relationship with Mary Magdalene really unthinkable?
