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, Musical direction<br \/>\nHanna Werth, Philipp Alfons Heitmann, Direction<br \/>\nPaulina Barreiro, Costume<br \/>\nNora Pfahl, Takao Baba, Choreography<br \/>\nJustine Wanat, Musical Director Academy for Choir and Music Theater at Johanneskirche<br \/>\nBj\u00f6rn Bock, Lighting design<br \/>\nHans-J\u00fcrgen M\u00fcller, Technical management<\/p>\n<p class=\"cast-paragraph\">Samuel Sch\u00fcrmann, Celebrant<br \/>\nNeele Jacobsen, Soprano<br \/>\nSarah Cassaro, Mezzo-Soprano<br \/>\nLuzia Ostermann, Mezzo-Soprano<br \/>\nAnna Magdalena Beetz, Alto<br \/>\nLukas Baeskow, Tenor<br \/>\nRobert Reichinek, Tenor<br \/>\nGuido Schikore, Baritone<br \/>\nFerdinand Krumb\u00fcgel, Baritone<br \/>\nChamber choir of Johanneskirche<br \/>\nAcademy for Choir and Music Theater at Johanneskirche<br \/>\nYouth Company of tanzhaus nrw<br \/>\nD\u00fcsseldorf Festival orchestra<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9689,"template":"","genre":[115,198,197,114,245],"state":[154],"class_list":["post-9704","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 -
