Premiere January 14, 2021, WDR Rundfunkhaus Cologne (DE)
The witch Elphaba is green, the beast is hairy and has two horns on its head, and Quasimodo guards Notre-Dame as a hunchbacked bell ringer. What these three film and musical characters have in common: they are all outsiders in the society, are hunted with torches and are ridiculed. But they do exist, the Belles, Glindas and Esmeraldas of this world, who rescue the sad characters from their isolation and loneliness and thus write modern fairy tales. This concert program, the WDR Funkhausorchester dedicates to the anti-heroes of the film and musical world - from "Wicked" to "Beauty and the Beast", from "The Hunchback of the Notre Dame" to "Frozen". Happy ending guaranteed!
