Based on the hit film of the same name starring Jack Black, Andrew Lloyd Webber's rousing rock musical follows struggling singer Dewey Finn, who is kicked out of his band just before a competition. To at least pay the rent, Dewey pretends to be a substitute teacher and, without actually knowing anything about math or any other school subjects, ends up at an elite school. What he does know a lot about, however, is music! As homework, he assigns his students to listen to music by bands like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath – which, much to the headmistress's chagrin, becomes the soundtrack to everyday school life.

Aux armes! Aux armes! – To arms! The performance of Daniel Auber's "La muette de Portici" in August 1830 at the Brussels Opera House so enraged the audience that they rose up, stormed out of the theater and started a revolution that led to the founding of the Belgian state.

Basierend auf dem gleichnamigen Erfolgsfilm mit Jack Black folgt das mitreißende Rockmusical von Andrew Lloyd Webber dem gescheiterten Sänger Dewey Finn, der kurz vor einem Contest aus seiner Band geschmissen wurde. Um wenigstens die Miete bezahlen zu können, gibt Dewey sich als Aushilfslehrer aus und landet, ohne tatsächlich etwas von Mathe oder anderen Schulfächern zu verstehen, an einer Eliteschule. Wovon er aber eine Menge versteht, ist Musik! Als Hausaufgabe gibt er seinen Schüler:innen auf, Musik von Bands wie AC/DC, Led Zeppelin und Black Sabbath zu hören – die darauf, zum Ärger der Schulleiterin, zum Soundtrack des Schulalltags werden.

ALICE

Oh Germany, pale mother! In an impressive compositional process spanning 1935 to 1959, composer Hanns Eisler responded to contemporary German history and placed his musical work at the service of politics. From his Moscow exile, he wrote to his intellectual partner Bertolt Brecht in 1935: “I have a very interesting compositional plan, namely I want to write a large symphony, which will have the subtitle Concentration Camp Symphony .”
