Singer

As a largely unknown young composer, the later musical legend Andrew Lloyd Webber, together with lyricist Tim Rice, wrote the musical in the early 1970s that would become one of his greatest successes ever and trigger a veritable "Jesusmania": Jesus Christ Superstar .

Jesus Christ Superstar

City Theatre, Bern

Figaro and Susanna simply want to get married, but this proves more complicated than expected. On their way to wedlock, they must fend off intrigues and suitors, as well as face tests of loyalty and jealousy: Figaro's boss, Count Almaviva, is also courting Susanna, who allies herself with his wife, the Countess; Figaro, meanwhile, believes he has been betrayed – and then there's the lovelorn young Cherubino flitting about. A farcical comedy of disguises and mistaken identities ensues!

The Marriage of Figaro

In the bear pit, all the bears are fast asleep. All of them? No. One little spectacled bear is still awake and can't find peace. So he trudges wearily through the center of Bern. Melodies and sounds drift from a large building, drawing him in – and so he finds himself right in the middle of a concert! The musicians are quite astonished, the singer is breathless – what on earth do you do with a tired little bear who can't fall asleep? Perhaps they can lull him to sleep with songs…
