Jesus Christ Superstar

rock opera

During the time of Roman rule over the Jews, Jesus of Nazareth preaches and gains followers. The Jewish high priests fear the loss of power, while the crowds celebrate Jesus as the messiah. Judas, portrayed as a rational opponent warning of Roman intervention, stands against Jesus, whose actions can be perceived either through his divinity or as gambling. The plot captures the last seven tense days of Jesus' life from his entry into Jerusalem to the crucifixion. The legendary musical work fascinates with its musical richness - the violent rhythms of the crowd's enthusiasm alternate with slower passages by the priests, the dramatic singing of Jesus and Judas contrasts with the melodic entrances of Mary Magdalene, the folk instrumentation of Pilate's dream with the musical song of Herod.
