“We Will Rock You” receives performance rights in Amstetten

Brian May, the approachable guitarist of “Queen”enjoyed drinking a beer with Matthias Simoner after rehearsals and showed the Mostviertler, which he personally chose for the German premiere of the jukebox musical “We Will Rock You” I picked a few riffs in Cologne in 2004. According to the contract, the guitar that Simoner strapped on had to be a replica of the rustic electric guitar that May’s father had built for his boy to save money. Because of the sound it couldn’t be a Gibson or a Fender.

Christian Frank, the musical director of the now on “AVB Musical Summer” renamed fixed dates in the red-white-red music theater, has long had more freedom and, after almost a quarter of a century since the musical’s premiere in London, can listen to one or two beats of the world’s hits “Radio Gaga” to the battle bum anthem “We are the champions” “carefully and with respect”as he restricts at the outset, let some of the present flow in.

Alex Melcher, the “Galileo” the Cologne German version, which in a not so distant future will be the resistance of the “Bohemians” against a corporate juggernaut that bans musical instruments and covers ear canals with computer-generated monotony “Buddy” again on the side of the good guys back to the Pölzhalle. Ana Milva Gomes becomes terribly evil “Killer Queen” give and Nicolas Tenerani the “Khashoggi” as the spawn of a villain. “Evil lurks”says artistic director and director Alex Balga, “but the humor gives courage against it.”

The 21,800 viewers expected at 19 shows can confidently apply this line of thought to current social media, fake news and extremist fantasies of domination, says Balga. Barbara Obermaier as “Scaramouche” and Sarah Zippusch as “Oz” will break the chains of the disgusting ruler in the piece with rebellious creativity. The Amstettner Stadtbetriebe (AVB) offers a production budget of just over one million euros, with the city and state subsidizing it with 200,000 euros each. The premiere is on July 17th.
