Up to now in our “Broadway at Lyric” series, we’ve concentrated on American classics. This season, however, for the first time we’re producing a work that didn’t originate in this country. It’s also our first production of a rock opera – in fact, a work that was central to the whole idea of rock opera: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar. Audiences everywhere have embraced this piece for so many reasons. There is, first of all, the overwhelming drama with which Lloyd Webber and Rice depict the last days of Christ. There are the powerful characterizations of the central figures – Jesus, Judas, and Mary. Above all, there is the stupendous score that offers one memorable musical number after another, from the exhilarating “What’s the Buzz?” to the touching “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” the hair-raising “Gethsemane,” and, of course, the stirring title song. The show is filled with an innovative and very exciting mix of musical styles, drawing on rock, gospel, folk, and funk themes. With the combination of orchestra and rock band, not to mention dazzlingly high-energy dance, the piece’s cumulative impact is electrifying. We’re thrilled that Lyric will be presenting the American premiere of one of the Anthony Freud TODD ROSENBERG TODD most triumphantly successful stagings that Jesus Christ Superstar has ever had. The production by director Timothy Sheader, artistic director of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in London, premiered there in 2016. It was received with enormous acclaim by critics and audiences alike, and its triumph was confirmed with the hugely prestigious Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival. By popular demand it was remounted at Regent’s Park the following summer, with audiences again responding to it with immense enthusiasm. The production reminds us that this is a truly unforgettable piece. It has made an amazing journey, from its beginnings as a “concept album” on LP in 1970 to the stage premiere on Broadway, the London premiere that ran for seven years, the justly celebrated film version, and hugely successful presentations over the past four decades at venues large and small all over the world. We hope Jesus Christ Superstar will thrill you, move you, and leave you eager to return to Lyric Opera next season. David T. Ormesher Anthony Freud David T.

Do You Think You're What They Say You Are? Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar Abstract Jesus Christ Superstar (dir. Norman Jewison, 1973) is a hybrid which, though influenced yb Jesus films, also transcends them. Its rock opera format and its focus on Holy Week make it congenial to the adaptation of the Gospels and its characterization of a plausible, non-stereotypical Jesus capable of change sets it apart from the traditional films and aligns it with The Last Temptation of Christ and Jesus of Montreal. It uses its depiction of Jesus as a means not of reverence but of interrogation, asking him questions by placing him in a context full of overtones of the culture of the early 1970s, English-speaking West, attempting to understand him by converting him into a pop-idol, with adoring groupies among whom Jesus struggles, out of context, in an alien culture that ultimately crushes him, crucifies him and leaves him behind.

    A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

    A Tale of Two Cities By Charles Dickens Book 2: The Golden Thread Chapter 11: A Companion Picture Sydney,” said Mr. Stryver, on that self-same night, or morning, to his jackal; “mix another bowl of punch; I have something to say to you.” Sydney had been working double tides that night, and the night before, and the night before that, and a good many nights in succession, making a grand clearance among Mr. Stryver’s papers before the setting in of the long vacation. The clearance was effected at last; the Stryver arrears were handsomely fetched up; everything was got rid of until November should come with its fogs atmospheric, and fogs legal, and bring grist to the mill again. Sydney was none the livelier and none the soberer for so much application. It had taken a deal of extra wet-towelling to pull him through the night; a correspondingly extra quantity of wine had preceded the towelling; and he was in a very damaged condition, as he now pulled his turban off and threw it into the basin in which he had steeped it at intervals for the last six hours. “Are you mixing that other bowl of punch?” said Stryver the portly, with his hands in his waistband, glancing round from the sofa where he lay on his back. “I am.” A Tale of Two Cities: Book 2, Chapter 11 by Charles Dickens “Now, look here! I am going to tell you something that will rather surprise you, and that perhaps will make you think me not quite as shrewd as you usually do think me.

    Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage

    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
