Into the Woods
Stephen Sondheim turned 90 in March 2020.
After “Die spinnen, die Römer!” And “Sweeney Todd”, “Into the Woods” is already the third musical by the giant that made its way onto the repertoire of the Volksoper Cleverness, wit and musical elegance in a very special way.
Together with the author James Lapine, Stephen Sondheim based himself on Bruno Bettelheim's classic “Children need fairy tales”, a plea for “the truth of our imagination”. Most of them are well-known characters that we accompany into the fairy tale forest: Little Red Riding Hood meets the wolf on the way to her grandmother, Cinderella loses her shoe and finds her prince. The baker and his wife fight the curse of the wicked witch in order to fulfill their heart's desire for a child. The stories intertwine, general satisfaction leads ... into the break. But what happens to fairy tale characters after the happy ending? We learn that in the second part of this modern masterpiece, ... because adults need fairy tales too!
