Macbeth

Wir freuen uns, in diesem Jahr wieder mit dem Chor der Schule zusammengearbeitet zu haben, der für den richtigen atmosphärischen Rahmen der gruseligen Hexen- und Geisterszenen gesorgt hat.

 

Rafael Rodriguez (Piano), der die Songs komponiert und arrangiert hat, begleitete die Musiker. Teils sind es die Originaltexte aus dem Stück, die vertont wurden, z.B. der Hexensong, teils hat er Instrumentalmusik geschrieben, A Fateful Night, die er zusammen mit dem Geiger Ricardo Müller aufgeführt hat.

Unser Highlight aber ist der Song, den William Shakespeare (Kilian Peters) über das Theater selbst singt und der zu unserem Ensemblesong wurde. Getextet hat ihn Peter Baasner.

In Praise of the Stage

 

The theatre is great for you
And everyone on stage indeed.
It tells you how to love and woo
And how to get the things you need.

The theatre will make you feel,
And also stimulate your brain.
You'll even find some sex-appeal
And only very little strain.

 

Refrain
The theatre inspires you,
It makes you feel and lets you dream
And it can do much more for you;
In our hearts it reigns supreme.

 

The stage makes life appear quite fresh,
Intensifies the way you act,
There's none of empty-headed trash,
Believe you me, this is a fact.

In love's amazing rodeo
You can be handsome Romeo
Who courts his sweet love Juliet,
If that's not true, I'll eat my hat.

 

Refrain
The theatre inspires you
It makes you feel and lets you dream
And it will do much more for you;
In our hearts it reigns supreme.

 

So, if you have a secret dream
Of ruling like a famous queen,
The theatre will see to that
I'll bet on it my pussy-cat.

You'll be a tyrant if you must,
A soldier or a simple maid,
A crawling creature eating dust –
Just get on stage! Don't be afraid!

 

Refrain
The theatre inspires you
It makes you feel and lets you dream,
And it will do much more for you;
In our hearts it reigns supreme.
