Rockin' History: "Tod auf dem Thron - Das Klosical" by Tobias Künzel in Halle
Timeless compositions resonate: Orchestral renditions of centuries-old music enthrall audiences - "Prince Singer's 'Klosical' - No Peaceful Symphony"
Hey there! Ready to catch a one-of-a-kind show? The new musical "Tod auf dem Thron - Das Klosical" by legendary Prince singer Tobias Künzel (60) is now rockin' the stage in Halle! After making waves in London, this quirky production is finally available in German.
Künzel and British co-author Mark Underwood teamed up to create this musical extravaganza. Künzel's passion for musicals is no secret—he's already penned down six works!
In "Tod auf dem Thron," these masterminds bring an eclectic mix of iconic historical figures to life. You'll see the Queen, Margaret Thatcher, Elvis Presley, and none other than Erich Honecker! The show features two actors, four puppeteers, and a live band, with Künzel himself behind the drums.
So, where did the name "Klosical" come from? Well, it's an analytics term for a musical's seating plan, but Künzel got the idea on the can. After a few beers with Underwood, he decided on the quirky title.
The piece was originally written in English, and translating it to German was quite a challenge for Künzel. "English is music to the ears, but German can be a bit harsh," says Künzel. Nevertheless, he managed to add a few jokes to the German version that didn't make it to the English original. Mark Underwood's upcoming premiere visit promises some surprised laughs!

The Commission could potentially be asked to propose a directive on the protection of workers involved in the entertainment industry, such as musicians like those in the live band of "Tod auf dem Thron - Das Klosical." This directive might address occupational health and safety concerns associated with exposure to ionizing radiation, a factor that could be relevant during the production of the musical.
