The monumental work combines choral and mass elements with classical symphonic music, vocals and jazz, rock and blues sounds to create a multi-layered reflection on faith and doubt and is considered visionary today. Bernstein combines the Latin liturgy of the mass with often rebellious texts that express the inner conflict between spiritual longing and institutional mistrust. At the centre of the action is the celebrant, a priest experiencing a crisis of faith. &#8220;Mass&#8221; will be the festival&#8217;s fifth major music theatre production in the Johannes church, featuring three choirs, soloists, an orchestra and a rock band. The directing duo Hanna Werth and Philipp Heitmann promise &#8220;a moving spectacle with over 100 participants&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cast-paragraph\">Wolfgang Abendroth, Musikalische Leitung<br \/>\nHanna Werth, Philipp Alfons Heitmann, Regie<br \/>\nPaulina Barreiro, Kost\u00fcm<br \/>\nNora Pfahl, Takao Baba, Choreografie<br \/>\nJustine Wanat, Musikalische Leitung Akademie f\u00fcr Chor und Musiktheater an der Johanneskirche<br \/>\nBj\u00f6rn Bock, Lichtdesign<br \/>\nHans-J\u00fcrgen M\u00fcller, Technische Leitung<\/p>\n<p class=\"cast-paragraph\">Samuel Sch\u00fcrmann, Zelebrant<br \/>\nNeele Jacobsen, Sopran<br \/>\nSarah Cassaro, Mezzosopran<br \/>\nLuzia Ostermann, Mezzosopran<br \/>\nAnna Magdalena Beetz, Alt<br \/>\nLukas Baeskow, Tenor<br \/>\nRobert Reichinek, Tenor<br \/>\nGuido Schikore, Bariton<br \/>\nFerdinand Krumb\u00fcgel, Bariton<br \/>\nKammerchor der Johanneskirche<br \/>\nAkademie f\u00fcr Chor und Musiktheater an der Johanneskirche<br \/>\nJugendkompanie des tanzhaus nrw<br \/>\nD\u00fcsseldorf Festival Orchester<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9689,"template":"","genre":[115,198,197,114,245],"state":[154],"class_list":["post-9690","veranstaltung","type-veranstaltung","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","genre-chor-und-orchesterkonzert","genre-dance","genre-jazz-en","genre-klassik-en","genre-musical-en","state-archived"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
