It was very good, the uni staging of Tanz der Vampire. It was amateur theatre but on a very very good and high level. They had a 45 piece orchestra for example.....our dear Professor Ambronsius was left out though. Was obviously very easy to do so, he simply "died out in the snow" at the beginning instead of being carried into Chagals inn.
One of the most interesting things was that they made a duet of "Die unstillbare Gier". And it worked very well. Sarah found Krolocks diary (ok, that does not exactly fit to the character but hey
) and so she "read" the text out loud and started to sing the song. Soon Krolock stepped in and they sang it partly together but was happy to hear he sang some parts on his own as well.
What is interesting is that it fitted very well, sarah transferred the lyrics to her point of view, so for example instead of singing "Dass seine Trauer mir das Herz nicht brach, kann ich mir nicht verzeihn" she is singing "Dass seine Trauer dir das Herz nicht brach, kann ich dir nicht verzeihn". (for the germans on here
The point is that the fact that sarah is included in the song and therefore knows about him struggling with his fate and regretting what he has done - this adds a lot of depth to it.
Of course one could argue whether it is likely that Krolock has a diary that he tells all of his feeling every night before going to bed.....or in his case every morning
but it was a great 2 hours, unfortunately tonight and yesterday were the only 2 performances
