It’s finally happening! After saying I wanted to do this for months, I’m finally going to be hosting streams for non-English language musicals. Every one of these musicals has English subtitles on (apart from a couple that are in English). I have a little FAQ here about the streams, but essentially anyone is welcome to join, you don’t have to know anything about musicals or have interacted with me before, and there is a text chat you can take part in if you want but there’s no pressure to.

This is the link to the room: https://kosmi.app/nrs5nx. It is open now and will continue to be open, so please don’t misbehave in there between streams. You don’t need to make an account to join, but it would be best to do so if you want to join in the chat as without an account you’ll just appear as ‘anonymous’ and several anons will make the chat confusing. There may be music playing when you join because I’ve set up a little playlist to play if anyone shows up to the stream early you can just chill for a bit with me and some music.

I’ll likely start the video up to 10 minutes after the scheduled time for anyone who is just setting things up or slightly late, but I won’t be hanging around for people for ages. Once the stream starts I will stop it in the intermission for 10 or so minutes for people to get snacks or drinks or toilet breaks. I’ll get everyone to check in when they come back and once everyone seems to be back I’ll start act 2, sorry in advance if I start act 2 and you’re not back yet, it’s hard to keep track of everyone if there’s a fair amount of people. You can still join in at any time during the stream, the room will not be closing once the video starts, I just won’t be rewinding the video for you.

I have seen a number of these musicals before and some are my favourite musicals, but I haven’t seen a lot of them before, so I can’t speak as to the quality of some of them, but at least a good amount of them I would recommend. Almost all of these are original non-English language musicals, I did put a couple of productions of Jesus Christ Superstar in here that I love and haven’t had the chance to watch all the way through yet (Amstetten Austria 2005 which is still performed in English, and 2014 Sweden). (And I definitely didn’t just add them because I love Drew Sarich and him as Judas in Amstetten 2005 and I think he’s amazing and my favourite Judas and I just want other people to fall in love with him as well). I’ve also tried to put some trigger warnings down but I haven’t watched a lot of these, but the ones that I know contain anything to do with suicidal themes I have noted.

If you want more info on European musicals while I do post about them here I also run @europeanmusicals and you can check that blog out and the posts tagged with #masterlists if you want the information posts. I have this general introduction post that I am still working on remaking into a video essay for Youtube.

The streams will happen every Saturday at 11pm UK time, which changes from BST to GMT at the end of October.

Week 1: Tanz der Vampire 2011 Berlin Production

28th of August 11pm BST/GMT+1 Language: German Cast: Drew Sarich (Graf von Krolock), Amelie Dobler (Sarah Chagal), Anton Zetterholm (Alfred), Veit Schafermeier (Professor Ambronsius), Kai Hüsgen (Yonie Chagal), Goele de Raedt (Magda), Marc Liebisch (Herbert von Krolock) Summary: Professor Ambronsius and his young assistant Alfred are on the hunt for vampires and stumble upon a small village. They suspect that the villagers know more about vampires than they let on, and soon discover there is a castle in the woods where the vampire Graf von Krolock and his son Herbert live. While staying at the inn, Alfred meets Sarah, the innkeeper’s daughter, her father being so overprotective that he keeps her locked in her room every day and every night. Sarah longs to escape her life and has been secretly conversing with Krolock for some time. She’s no damsel in distress, she’s attracted to him and what he offers and so she sneaks out of her home and goes to his castle. Alfred is convinced she has been kidnapped and he and the Professor go to the castle to rescue her. Things I love: Music by Jim Steinman!! Who you may better know as the song-writer of ‘Holding out for a Hero’ and ‘Totale Eclipse of the Heart). Canon lgbt characters: Graf von Krolock is very hinted at being bisexual, tries to seduce both a female and male character and mentions a past male lover, and his son Herbert is gay. And dance sequences! Amazing dance sequences!

Week 2: Elisabeth das Musical 1992 Original Vienna Production (Proshot)

4th of September 11pm BST/GMT+1 Language: German TW: themes of suicide, depression, anxiety Cast: Pia Douwes (Elisabeth), Uwe Kröger (Der Tod), Ethan Freeman (Luigi Lucheni), Viktor Gernot (Franz Joseph), Andreas Bieber (Rudolf), Else Ludwig (Sophie), Christa Wettstein (Ludovika/Frau Wolf), Wolfgang Pampel (Max) Summary: The musical follows the life of the Austrian Empress Elisabeth ‘Sissi’, but with a supernatural twist. Her obsession with death grows as her mental health declines, as Death falls in love with her and tries to convince her to kill herself so they can be together. He watches her from her marriage to Kaiser Franz-Joseph in 1854 to her murder in 1989 at the hands of the Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni. (None of that was a spoiler, you find out she dies at the end in the first minute of the musical). Things I love: Mental health: In particular both Elisabeth and Rudolf suffer from anxiety and depression. LGBT+ characters: death can be seen as genderfluid or non-binary, in the original production and vienna revival has scenes where he presents as male and later female, and the original actor has described him almost genderfluid in interviews. death aims to seduce both a female and a male character, and rudolf is shown as being bisexual.

(I’ve put both this version and the revival for the first two weeks. I love the original, I think Pia and Uwe are perfect in the roles. Every Der Tod/Death is different and Uwe plays him beautifully inhuman and mysterious and I find that lacking in some performances. However, the 2005 cast is still good and Serkan Kaya as Lucheni is the best and it has some extra songs. If you only want to watch one of these I recommend the following stream of the 2005 revival, but I’d really recommend watching both of them).

Week 3: Elisabeth das Musical 2005 Vienna Revival (Proshot)

11th of September 11pm BST/GMT+1 Language: German TW: themes of suicide, depression, anxiety Cast: Maya Hakvoort (Elisabeth), Máté Kamarás (Der Tod), Serkan Kaya (Luigi Lucheni), Andre Bauer (Franz Joseph), Fritz Schmid (Rudolf), Else Ludwig (Sophie), Johann Ebert (Young Rudolf), Luzia Nistler (Ludovika/Frau Wolf), Kerstin Ibald (Gräfin Esterhazy), Sigrid Brandstetter (Helene) Summary: See earlier summary.

Week 4: Rudolf: Affaire Mayerling 2009 Vienna Production (Proshot)

Marx (Graf Gyula Andrássy), Sasha Di Capri (Georges Clemenceau), Martin Pasching (Wilhelm II), Kathleen Bauer (Mizzi) Summary: Based loosely on the book A Nervous Splendor: Vienna 1888-1889 by Frederic Morton. Based on the life of Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria and his extramarital relationship with Baroness Mary Vetsera, as well as touching on his strained relationship with his father. Their deaths in 1889 at the Mayerling hunting lodge have long been believe to be the result of a murder-suicide pact, though some historians still debate this. It doesn’t include his equally strained relationship with his mother, in fact Elisabeth makes no appearanceat all.

(I thought this was fiting to put after Elisabeth as it’s about the same Rudolf, the same historical figure as who’s in Elisabeth).

Week 5: Rebecca das Musical 2011 Stuttgart Production

25th of September 11pm BST/GMT+1 Language: German Cast: Christina Patten (Ich u/s), Jan Ammann (Maxim de Winter), Pia Douwes (Mrs Danvers), Kerstin Ibald (Beatrice Lacy), Carl van Wegberg (Jack Favell u/s), Matthias Graf (Frank Crawley), Isabel Dörfler (Mrs Van Hopper), Oliver Heim (Ben), Giles (Raphael Dörr) Summary: Based on the novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier.

She soon learns that all Maxim’s staff loved his first wife, Rebecca, and find her quite strange. Non more so than the housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, who’s devotion and love to her former mistress seems to go beyond that of a housekeeper, and seems to talk as if Rebecca’s ghost was in the air around them. As time progresses the nature of who Rebecca was and how she died starts to come into question.

Week 6: Notre Dame de Paris 1998 Original Paris Production (Proshot)

2nd of October 11pm BST/GMT+1 Language: French TW: sexual assault Cast: Hélène Ségara (Esmeralda), Garou (Quasimodo), Daniel Lavoie (Frollo), Bruno Pelletier (Gringoire), Patrick Fiori (Phoebus), Luck Marvil (Clopin), Julie Zenatti (Fleur-de-Lys) Summary: Based on Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Meanwhile, Frollo, the priest of Notre-Dame, feels uncontrolled and violent desires for Esmerelda.

I may find more musicals with English subtitles and more people may make and upload ones with English subtitles so just because the list ends here doesn’t mean there won’t ever be more streams after this. (There’s been 2 updates so far.)

I cannot believe how much time this is lasting?! So, if anything happens in my life that means I can’t still host streams in 6 months time please don’t get angry at me and understand I cannot see that far into the future.

If anything happens that means a stream can’t happen one week, everything will be pushed back one week. If this or anything else happens that effects this schedule I’ll post about it and tag it with ‘#emptymasks musical streams’

Review: Blackmore's Night Continues to Perfect Renaissance Rock on 'Nature's Light'

Blackmore's Night has always been a polarizing band. Some like the blend of semi-traditional folk and rock the band has pioneered for 20 years. Others lament that a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and man widely acknowledged to be a pioneer of hard rock guitar is plying his trade in the world's most famous Renaissance Festival act. Blackmore's Night's new album Nature's Light, releasing 3/12, isn't going to change the minds of either of those groups. But, while the majority of the album is very much in the vein of the group's previous outings, there are moments that should appeal to fans of Blackmore's more rock-oriented side as well.

As has always been the case, the driving force behind Blackmore's Night remains the pair who gave the band their name; Blackmore and Candice Night. Blackmore may be known as a guitar hero, but here he proves himself adept at practically any instrument with strings. Over the course of Nature's Light, Blackmore not only plays acoustic and electric (more on that momentarily) guitar, but also mandolin, mandola, hurdy gurdy, and nyckelharpa.

But for those unfamiliar with the band, the real not quite so secret weapon is Night. In addition to her always stellar vocals (and if you really want to see just how far those stretch, check out her guest vocal on the title track of Avantasia's Moonglow), Night also contributes all of the album's “back to nature” lyrics as well as a number of period woodwinds. Throughout the album it is Night's voice, even more than Blackmore's guitar, that offers the album's grandest moments.

About that guitar, though. Even detractors of Blackmore's Night should give a listen to the album's two instrumental tracks. “Darker Shade of Black” begins slowly enough but builds, with Blackmore trading his Deep Purple era earworm hooks for sustained notes and jazzy riffs. Even more enticing to fans of Blackmore's guitar work is “Der Letzte Musketier.” While still retaining the “everything for the song” musicality displayed by Blackmore throughout, this is one place where he truly flexes his hard rock muscles.

Another highlight of the album is the band's only cover, “Wish You Were Here”, not the one by Pink Floyd (though I'd pay to hear that), but by Teijo Olavi Leskela. It's most perfect melding of the soaring vocals of Night and wailing guitar of Blackmore that has always been the band's creative backbone.

The remainder of the album is nothing more or less than you'd expect from a Blackmore's Night album. The musicians are strong throughout, although with “names” like Bard David of Larchmont and Scarlet Fiddler, it isn't doing anything to deter the haters. But that's the point of Blackmore's Night. Always has been. Ritchie Blackmore has accomplished everything he could possibly want in his musical life and Night's vocal and songwriting skills could support her anywhere he wished to ply her trade. The fact that they've chosen Renaissance rock and challenged themselves to blend Fairport Convention with a Renaissance Faire imbues the album with a passion that likely wouldn't be present if either had stayed in their respective “lanes.”

And, in the end, that's what makes Nature's Light stand out. Often, when an artist is phoning it in, it can be heard through the speakers. No one in Blackmore's Night is phoning in even a note of their work. Instead, the pervasive mood throughout is a musical joy, a pure love of craft that is hard not to get caught up in.

BLACKMORE'S NIGHT mit neuem Studioalbum "Nature's Light"

Am 12. März 2021 erscheint mit “Nature’s Light” das 11. Studioalbum von Blackmore’s Night. Die Band besteht aus Ritchie Blackmore und Sängerin Candice Night.

Die zehn Songs sind eine von Grund auf ehrliche Liebeserklärung an die Folkmusik der Renaissance-Ära, inspiriert von den Mythen und Legenden vergangener Epochen.

“Die Geschichte von ‘Nature’s Light’ ist auch die Geschichte von der Kraft der Natur, die uns jeden Tag umgibt, genauso wie die alltäglichen Wunder, die direkt vor unseren Augen geschehen”, sagt Candice Night. “Wenn man sich von seinem Umfeld eingeschränkt oder bedrängt fühlt, ist es wichtig, auf sich selbst zu achten, seine Energien wieder aufzuladen und dem eigenen Herzen zu folgen. Manche zieht es dabei ans Meer, manche in die Wälder und für andere sind es einfach die Sonnenstrahlen auf dem Gesicht, um wieder Energie zu tanken. Unsere Musik ist ein Ventil für den Stress und den Druck der Neuzeit. Eine Reise zurück in eine einfachere, magische Zeit, in der Musik in unser Herz und unsere Seele dringt.“

Und so findet auf der gefühlvollen Neuauflage der Ballade “Wish You Were Here” auch die Romantik ihren Platz, während “Four Winds” und “The Twisted Oak” verwunschene Geschichten erzählen, stets begleitet durch das einzigartige Gitarrenspiel von Ritchie Blackmore. Vor allem mit den beiden Instrumentals “Darker Shade Of Black” und “Der letzte Musketier” zeigt Ritchie Blackmore einmal mehr, dass sein Gitarrenspiel noch genauso magisch ist wie eh und je.

Das Studioalbum erscheint am 12. März 2021 in mehreren Formaten bei earMUSIC. Darunter ist eine streng limitierte 2CD Hardcover Mediabook Edition inklusive einer Bonus-CD mit neun sorgfältig ausgewählten musikalischen Highlights aus Blackmore’s Nights umfangreichem Backkatalog. Zudem wird “Nature’s Light” als CD Digipak Edition sowie gleich zweimal auf Vinyl erhältich sein – in einer streng limitierten 180g 1LP Gatefold Edition auf gelbem Vinyl und einer 180g 1LP Gatefold Edition auf schwarzem Vinyl.

“Nature’s Light” Album Tracklisting 01. Once Upon December 02. Four Winds 03. Feather In the Wind 04. Darker Shade of Black (Instrumental) 05. The Twisted Oak 06. Nature’s Light 07. Der Letzte Musketier (Instrumental) 08. Wish You Were Here 09. Going To The Faire 10. Second Element

dArtagnan – neues Album

einer für alle, alle für einen – das berühmte Motto aus Alexandre Dumas‘ mehrfach verfilmten Roman gilt auch für dArtagnan, die Nürnberger Band, die sich dem Musketier-Rock mit Leib und Seele verschrieben hat. Die drei Musiker stehen bereit, um mit ihrem dritten Streich "IN JENER NACHT" und ihrer eigenen Mischung aus Pop, Rock, Folk und Schlager erneut die Gunst ihrer zahlreichen Anhänger zu erobern. Nürnberg, Anno 2015 – dArtagnan ziehen hinaus in die Welt, um nach alter Sitte edler Musketiere mit musikalischen Heldentaten die Herzen schöner Frauen zu erobern. Doch die Neue Deutsche Folkmusik der drei Musiker findet auch bei den Herren großen Gefallen, sodass bereits ihr Debüt "SEIT AN SEIT" auf Anhieb Platz 7 der Deutschen Albumcharts erobert und sogleich vergoldet wird. Dabei sorgen dArtagnan zunächst medial für Wirbel und treten erst einmal in Samstagabend-Shows auf - ein Tabubruch für Mittelalterrock- und Metalkreise, die sich als Gegenpol zur TV-Unterhaltung verstehen. Doch dArtagnan gelingt das Kunststück, auf beiden musikalischen Hochzeiten zum Tanz aufzuspielen. „Wir fühlen uns im Fernsehen wie auch auf dem Wacken Open Air zuhause“, betont Ben Metzner. „Wo immer die Leute unsere Musik hören wollen, treten wir auf.“ Die Erklärung für dieses Phänomen, Zuschauer von jung bis alt, vom Schlagerfan bis zum Headbanger zu begeistern, ist überraschend einfach: Qualität! dArtagnan überzeugen durch handwerkliches Können, was in zahlreichen Live-Shows immer wieder unter Beweis gestellt wird und dazu durch starkes Songwriting. Die Band mit Ben Metzner als kreativem Kopf landet sowohl Gassenhauer als auch kernige Folk-Hymnen zum Mitsingen. Mit Gold in der Tasche machten sich dArtagnan prompt an ihr zweites Album: "Verehrt & Verdammt" brachte der Band neben einem erneuten Chart-Erfolg ganz nebenbei mehrere Stadionkonzerte als Support bei Andreas Gabalier und eine noch deutlich vergrößerte Fangemeinde ein. Nun wagen sich Ben Metzner und Tim Bernard zusammen mit neuem Teufelsgeiger Gustavo Strauß auf zu neuen Ruhmestaten. "IN JENER NACHT" steht bereit die Herzen der Fans im Galopp zu erobern. Das Album zeichnet sich durch die scheinbare Leichtigkeit aus, mit der dArtagnan nicht nur Brücken über Genregrenzen bauen, sondern auch ihrer Erfolgsgeschichte neue Facetten hinzufügen. „Für mich ist IN JENER NACHT ein Befreiungsschlag“, verrät Bandkopf, Sänger und Multiinstrumentalist Ben Metzner. „Nach dem Gold-Award lastete beim Schreiben ein riesiger Erfolgsdruck auf mir. Ich dachte, ich müsste es allen recht machen. Das neue Album ist dagegen eher aus dem Bauchgefühl entstanden und mit Gustavo Strauss an der Geige haben sich uns Welten an neuen Möglichkeiten eröffnet.“ Für die exzellente Produktion von "IN JENER NACHT" zeichnet Thomas Heimann-Trosien verantwortlich, der bereits mit seinen Arbeiten für Mittelalter-Rocker wie Schandmaul oder Saltatio Mortis erste Plätze in den Charts und Goldene Schallplatten einheimsen konnte.

Kultur- und Festspielstadt Bad Elster Aktuelle Presseinformationen zu Veranstaltungen der Chursächsischen Veranstaltungs GmbH für die KW 20

RUCKSACK, REISEN & ANDERE KATASTROPHEN! Am Dienstag, den 14. Mai lädt der Multigitarrist Krishn Kypke um 19.30 Uhr zu einem musikalischen Reisebericht unter dem Titel „Rucksack, Reisen und andere Katastrophen!“ mit Bildern und exotischen Instrumenten in das Königliche Kurhaus Bad Elster ein. Der weltreisende Multigitarrist nimmt sein Publikum mit auf eine Reise durch die Klänge der Welt. Denn nach seinem Musikstudium bereiste er selbst Länder wie z.B. Indien, China, Malaysia oder Usbekistan. Die auf diesen Reisen gewonnenen Eindrücke hat er in einem klang- und kontrastreichen Konzertprogramm verarbeitet. Er reiste auf der Seidenstraße, bekam in Indien einen Kulturschock und überstand im Himalaya 40 Grad Fieber, um in Kashmir das »Grab Jesu« besuchen. Auf seinen Abenteuerreisen lernte er aber nicht nur die Kultur, Land und Leute kennen, sondern auch deren Musik und Saiteninstrumente. Diese stellt er nun auf seinen konzertanten Reiseberichten vor. So bekommt das Publikum einen Abend geschenkt, an welchem im besten Sinne »Worldmusic« zu hören ist. Neben der Gitarre erklingen so Sitar, Dutar, Pipa und Tumbi. Dazu werden Reiserlebnisse erzählt, die mal heiter, mal dramatisch und manchmal auch beides gleichzeitig sind. Es erklingen exotische Instrumente und Melodien aus fernen Ländern, aber auch Bearbeitungen und eigene Kompositionen. Tickets: 037437/ 53 900 | http://www.chursaechsische.de

Der Konzert-Tipp der Woche: MUSKETIER-ROCK IM KÖNIG ALBERT THEATER! Aufgepasst Ihr Haudegen, Edelfräuleins, Kavaliere & Königinnen: Am Freitag, den 17. Mai beehren die Jungs von d’Artagnan um 19.30 Uhr mit ihrem Musketier-Rock das historische König Albert Theater Bad Elster. An diesem Abend heißt es: Einer für alle und alle für einen! Nachdem die Jungs aus Nürnberg in die Top Ten einstiegen, Preise abräumten und sich in die Herzen der Fans spielten, darf sich nun Bad Elster auf den dritten Streich der Musketier-Rocker freuen! Mit »Seit an Seit« eroberten sie über Nacht den Pophimmel, wurden ausgezeichnet als »Newcomer des Jahres« und erreichten Goldstatus. Im März 2019 erschien nun das neue, dritte Album »In jener Nacht« und damit erobern sie nun das Königsbad. Das Album sprüht voll Spielfreude. Der Sound der Band ist zum einen folkiger, zugleich aber geradliniger geworden. Dazu testen d‘Artagnan weiter die Grenzen aus. Von mitreißenden Rocksongs, über epische Werke über den 30-jährigen Krieg bis zu schmissigen Party-Hits ist alles dabei. Bleibt die Frage: Seid Ihr dabei??? In den Abend starten die Gossenpoeten mit irischen Folksliedern, britischen Heldensagen, Tavernen-Anekdoten und Seemannsgarn! Für alle, denen ein »normaler« Konzertabend noch nicht genug ist, gibt es für die Bad-Elster-Show auch noch einige wenige, besondere VIP-Tickets mit Soundcheck-Besuch, Meet & Greet und Überraschungsgeschenk. Tickets: 037437/ 53 900 | http://www.koenig-albert-theater.de

Der Theater-Tipp der Woche: DIE VÖGEL – DER HITCHCOCK-KLASSIKER IN BAD ELSTER Am Sonnabend, den 18. Mai präsentiert das renommierte Berliner Kriminaltheater um 19.30 Uhr im König Albert Theater Bad Elster eine fesselnde Bühnenadaption des Thrillers »Die Vögel« von Conor McPherson in der Regie von Wolfgang Rumpf. Die weltberühmte filmische Umsetzung des Stoffes von Alfred Hitchcock aus dem Jahr 1963 gilt als Klassiker des Horror-Genres. Das Publikum erlebt nun diesen Thriller in einer fesselnden Bühnenadaption zum 2. Rhododendronfest mit dem renommierten Berliner Kriminaltheater – Vögel frei. Ein halb zerfallenes, verlassenes Haus an einer Bucht. Hier suchen Nat und Diane Zuflucht, zwei Fremde, beide Ende vierzig, um sich vor dem apokalyptischen Ansturm der Vögel zu schützen. Aber das Haus ist nur vorübergehend sicher: Der Strom bricht zusammen, die Lebensmittel werden knapp und die Vögel bedrängender. Nach und nach schwinden die Zeichen anderen menschlichen Lebens: Die Schreie der Überlebenden draußen verklingen, das Radio hört auf zu übertragen. Was bleibt ist das Heulen des Windes und das zwei Mal täglich wiederkehrende Wüten der Vögel. Tickets: 037437/ 53 900 | http://www.koenig-albert-theater.de

SPRITZIGE MUSICALREVUE ALS REISE ZUM BROADWAY! Am Sonntag, den 19. Mai heißt es um 19.00 Uhr wieder Vorhang auf für »Broadway’s Best« im König Albert Theater. Diese heitere Musicalshow präsentiert dem Publikum zum Abschluss des 2. Rhododendronfestes eine unterhaltsame, kurzweilige Reise durch lebendige Musicalgeschichte! Die Musical Company Leipzig präsentiert an diesem Abend die unterhaltsame Theatershow gemeinsam mit dem Chursächsischen Salonorchester unter der Leitung von Ekkehard Meister als mitreißenden Querschnitt weltweiter Musicalerfolge. Auf einer spritzig-heiter inszenierten Reise zum Broadway erklingen dann im König Albert Theater berühmte Titel wie »Somewhere over the Rainbow«, »Memory« oder »Cabaret« bzw. die bekannten Melodien aus Musicalwelterfolgen wie »My Fair Lady«, der »West Side Story« oder dem »Kleinen Horrorladen«. Aber auch weltweit erfolgreiche Musicalhits aus dem »Tanz der Vampire«, »Der Schönen und das Biest«, »Starlight Express« oder »Dracula« werden das Publikum charmant verzaubern. Die erfrischenden Darbietungen begeistern dabei als pures Musicalvergnügen und bieten große Unterhaltung im glänzenden Showambiente Bad Elsters – Wir sagen »Willkommen – Bienvenue – Welcome«! Tickets: 037437/ 53 900 | http://www.koenig-albert-theater.de

Where to watch and listen to non-English language musicals?

I’ve been thinking about making a post like this for a while but wondered hm do I want to be giving out links to free downloads of musical audios publicly when really I want to promote people still buying CDs because one, it supports the artists, and two, I think it’s better to own things still rather than just own things digitally. But I found an extra treasure trove I didn’t know about before and I feel a need to share because I didn’t make it, it’s already online, so why shouldn’t I tell people about it? And then this was just going to be for audios and not videos and I was going to make a separate post but figured it would be easier if all the info was on one post. I actually was going to post this on my sideblog @europeanmuscials but I accidentally made the draft under my main blog which meant I couldn’t change it later and I couldn’t be bothered to cope and paste and redo all the images and tags because I didn’t save the images I just copy and pasted them so oh well.

Purchasing

So as I always preface when I share info on where to stream musicals, PLEASE try always support the artists by buying CDs and DVDs! I know a lot of the musicals here are 10/20+ years old and you cannot get the CDs anywhere anymore, but when a new musical comes out please try and get the CD without instatnly looking for a download. You can purchase non-English language musical CDs, DVDs and other merch from places like soundofmusic-shop.de or Ebay, or Yahoo Auctions for Japanese musicals, using a proxy shipping service, I personally use ZenMarket. Those are how I’ve gotten all of mine, getting them off Ebay or Yahoo Auctions means they’ll likely be second hand and there is nothing wrong or weird about buying second hand goods.

Streaming Audio

Spotify. A lot of German and French musicals are on Youtube. I have a series of playlists that will help you find them easily: one is my favourite songs from a bunch of different non-English language musicals, one of songs from solo albums from European and Asian musical theatre artists, and this one which is going to be the most help that is a huge playlist of every single full cast album of every non-English musical cast album I have found on Spotify. Please let me know if I’ve missed any on there and I’ll add them.

Youtube. Some official cast albums are also on Youtube, normally official uploads that match the Spotify uploads. Ones I know of that aren’t on Spotify for example is the original 2003 Dutch production of one of my favourite musicals 3 Musketiers and the 2005 German production of it.

Streaming Video

I want to preface this with how unlike Broadway and the West End, it’s fairly common for European musicals to get proshots and DVD and Bluray releases and so you don’t normally need to resort to looking for bootleg videos and can watch and purchase the pretty official proshots instead.

Youtube. There’s so many different channels uploading them to Youtube that for ease I made a playlist of every full length production on Youtube starting with the ones that have English subtitles. I also have playlists for different individual musicals and misc European musicals that are full of shorter videos: clips, interviews, behind the scenes, concert performances and other videos that aren’t full length production videos. These playlists are constantly updated.

Bilibili. A Chinese video sharing website. It has a lot Asian musicals of course, but European musicals, in particular French and German ones, have a very dedicated fanbase in Asia and so there are a lot of videos on here. You can search for then using the English/Roman alphabet and they normally come up fine. Easiest way I search on there is using the name of the musical/actor and a year.

VK. A Russian social media similar to Facebook. There are multiple fanpages for specific actors and musicals where I’ve found videos, but you can also search over all of VK. You might need an account to do this, I don’t remember but I think you do and that’s why I made one there. Here’s links to fanpages for Drew Sarich, Jan Ammann, Mark Seibert and Thomas Borchert.

Downloading Audio

r/castrecordings on Reddit. It’s a community of traders and you can make a reply to their request threads for the month asking if anyone has the audio you’re looking for, but please check first to see if it’s already been uploaded. I have downloaded many audios off there and I also have uploaded audios to there if I see someone request something that I have because I feel that it’s only fair for me to help others out there when I’ve downloaded things off there so many times. Be aware download links on here often get deleted and so a lot of older posts don’t have working download links anymore, but you can just request for a new working download on the request threads.

archive.org. Now I would never have thought of looking there, but I was on there because they have a lot of old silent films and so I was looking to watch the original Phantom of the Opera film and when I searched Phantom I was surprised by some cast albums that came up. So I wondered what would happen if I just looked at audios and oh I have found a wonderful little treasure trove. User musical_lover_1980 has uploaded over 1 thousand cast albums of Broadway, West End and non-English language musicals and a few film soundtracks. A lot of ones on there I’ve found before on r/castrecordings, but I was so happy to find a number that I didn’t already have. There’s even one Takarazuka album on there, which isn’t a lot but do you know how rare and hard those things are to find. And the Korean Frankenstein musical cast album!!

EDIT: also the account @ WennLi3b3 on archive.org is uploading audios and proshot videos

Because I will be link to external sites this might not show up in tags so I appreciate the reblogs. Please don’t share this post outside of Tumblr, nor any of the audios I post here outside of Tumblr. If I find that happening I’ll delete everything and not post audios or information like this anymore. Apologies if there are typos or any mistakes here.

1-50 #notevensorry #ily

oh wow, so much for going to bed early today^^

1. what’s your favorite musical?

ALL OF THEM

but my top faves over the years have been Elisabeth, 3 Musketiers, Into The Woods, RENT, Jesus Christ Superstar, Book of Mormon, Hamilton, and most recently, Dear Evan Hansen

2. favorite character in your favorite musical?

Robert from Company, Elphaba, The Witch from Into The Woods, Angel from RENT

3. what’s your favorite play?

bruh, SO MANY. recently i’m really into chekhov again, I recently saw an amazing Ivanov. other than that, I’m absolutely into Shakespeare, and I have a weakness for Schillers Die Räuber. Oh, and Andorra by Max Frisch.4. favorite character in your favorite play?

Viola from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night maybe?? I love her.

5. what’s your dream role?

macbeth. andri in Andorra. Robert in Company. Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. Antigone.

6. what’s a role you’d like to play that you’d never be able to?

I’m probably never able to play any of the roles I just mentioned, so…

7. do you prefer being behind the scenes or in the spotlight?

i mean going into dramaturgy, I will have to be happy with staying behind the scenes, but my heart will always bleed because I’m not on stage

8. do you like hamilton?

IT’S MY JAM I LOVE IT SO MUCH I CRY

9. have you seen hamilton?

AND I CRY SOME MOREmaybe one day, now that it’s coming to London

10. how do you feel about hyped up shows like hamilton, les mis, and rent?

Honestly, I couldn’t care less about how hyped they are. I love all my faves equally, doesn’t matter if it’s Wicked or some obsure 40’s book musical no one has played for decades. the good thing about hyped shows is: better cast recordings, better bootlegs, movie versions, all that nice stuff.

11. did you like this year’s tony awards?

didn’t watch the last tonys tbh. i don’t even know why, there wasn’t any particular reason

12. what award should there be that isn’t?

huh, don’t know, maybe one that specifically honours female writers and composers?

13. what shows have you been in/helped with?

mostly plays: my first one was Andorra, then a Shakespeare mashup thingie, then an original play about a teen with Aids, then an awesome one that was called The Trojan War Will Not Take Place, then Pension Schöller, then I was singing Carmina Burana, then Andorra again, and then a revue kinda thingie where we did various songs from musicals, operetta, opera, some choreographies, some other stuff… I probably forgot a few things, but oh well.

14. have you ever been paid to act onstage or on camera?

haha nope

15. do you prefer broadway or west end shows?

well I’ve never been to broadway. I’ve seen a couple of shows on west end tho. but one day I will go to Broadway and watch all the shows. have to get awfully rich first though

16. favorite stage actress?

Pia Douwes was one of my first stage crushes. of the german speaking ones, I also really love Sabrina Weckerlin, Annemieke van Dam, Lucy Scherer, Isabel Dörfler and Kerstin Ibald. Internationally, i have a huge crush on Kelli O'Hara, Phillipa Soo, and Alexia Khadime.

17. favorite stage actor?

Carl van Wegberg was my first crush, 12 years ago in Elisabeth. Rasmus Borkowski tho. And Oliver Arno and Serkan Kaya and Ben Platt and Nic Rouleau and tbh I have a bit of a thing for Aaron Tveit. Neil Patrick Harris, I know, I know, but DAMN i’m still not over his “Being Alive” and never will be.

18. favorite show currently or recently running?

Might be Dear Evan Hansen. I don’t know it well enough yet to say for certain, but damn, I love it!!!!

19. what’s your dream #ham4ham (even if you don’t like hamilton)?

my favorite one? obviously the schuyler georges. and the one where they got various people to do guns and ships. or is the question, who would I want to be at a ham4ham? Then my answer is Dame Julie Andrews of course. damn, forgot to mention her at my fave actresses.

20. who should host the tony’s next year?

LMM? With Dwayne The Rock Johnson as a co-host.

21. do you watch broadwaycom backstage vlogs?

from time to time. though it’s been ages since i last did that.

22. what’s your opinion on movies turned into musicals?

well, everything is turned into musicals these days. I don’t care so much what the source material is, as long as the music is good and the characters are great and it works with the plot. i mean, generalizing doesn’t really work, because you got stuff like Heathers, and then something like the Spiderman musical, so…

23. do you prefer musical movies or live musicals?

i love both, for very different reasons. i mean live theatre though. i have yet to find anything in this world that compares to it.

24. do you have an opinion on american psycho?

haven’t seen it. don’t care about it.

25. what movie would you want to be turned into a musical?

hmm. something gay. Imagine Me And You maybe? Or, wait, hold on, holy shit. PRIDE THE MUSICAL.

26. what role would you like to see your favorite actor play?

umm…. Ben Platt should go places, and get the parts he wants to have, and get to create new parts, because he’s amazing and he deserves it and I would probably watch him play a banana peel for two hours straight because he’d be amazing at that as well.

27. do you prefer musicals, plays, or operas?

I LOVE ALL OF IT???? DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE THAT’S SO RUDE

28. dramatic plays or comedies?

again, cannot choose. both is good.

29. andrew lloyd webber or stephen sondheim?

Sondheim, always. I love JCS and I will fight anyone for the trash show that is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, but that’s about it with Webber. Sondheim hasn’t done anything wrong in his life, ever, and I know this, and I love him.

30. neil patrick harris or james corden?

i mean, I love James Corden, but I mentioned it before, NPH in Company. BRUH.

31. did james corden do a good job hosting the tony’s (in your opinion)?

don’t know, didn’t see it

32. create a show mash-up and explain the plot (ex: legally todd = sweeney todd + legally blonde)

umm???? okay I’m tired and not very clever anymore, so the only thing I can come up with is

hamilrent - a couple of angry twenty- and thirtysomethings trying to make a change in american politics while being broke af

33. what song always makes you cry?

“Being Alive”. Isn’t it boring that I keep on bringing this up over and over again? I know. I still cry. Also “Children Will Listen” from Into The Woods. And “Wo ist der Sommer” from 3 Musketiers. And so far, “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen.

34. how do you feel about musicals using other artists’ music?

like in jukebox musicals? I’m mostly trash for it tbh. We Will Rock You is such a trash fest but I love it, and I will always fight anyone on Mamma Mia.

35. what celebrity would you like to see on broadway next?

idk amandla stenberg?

36. favorite show you’ve been in?

we did a huge medley of “Im Weißen Rössl” once and tbh i love this operetta. it’s cheesy af but who cares.

37. would you like to act professionally?

i would. i gave that up a while ago though, when I realized I was too disabled to be accepted into acting schools.

38. television or stage acting?

i would personally always choose the stage over television acting, but I don’t necessarily think one is better than the other

39. what disney movie should be a musical that isn’t?

not sure if moana could work on stage but damn i love that music

40. if you could see one show on broadway or west end, what would it be?

i really miss book of mormon and I want to see it again, but hamilton or dear evan hansen would be first i guess. or fun home.

41. what musical should be revived next?

i’m so glad miss saigon is coming back, i love it. how about we bring back Into The Woods?

42. are musical sequels okay?

i personally don’t care much for them, but i don’t condemn them. like, i dislike theatre that’s made solely for the purpose of making money, which is something sequels are usually about. but that doesn’t mean that sequels are always and will always be a bad thing.

43. what musical sequel would you like there to be that isn’t?

umm???? well it would make sense for there to be a wicked sequel, since the book has a sequel as well? or, maybe not exactly a sequel, but more history musicals in the style of hamilton? that’d be rad.

44. have you ever had a crush on a character from a show?

umm. … no? *sweats nervously* why would you ask that…….? … never

45. how do you feel about musicals being done live on tv now?

i think it’s a cool idea in general, making musicals more accessible to a wider audience, in a way that’s closer to live theatre. i just think the format is still too new and it needs a lot more practice until it’s going to work.

46. did you like grease live?

haven’t seen it

47. are you excited for hairspray live?

i was really excited beforehand, and then i was absolutely disappointed because it was more racist, more sexist, more ableist, and generally worse than the movie version, and while the cast was good, it wasn’t good enough to save bad directing.

48. what show do you desperately want your school/community to do?

well, I want RENT to be back in Germany, and not in the horrible German translation please. Maybe my current employer could get on that? they’re known for excellent stagings of musicals, and they also did Anything Goes in the english original.

49. are you a stronger singer or dancer?

i’m not great at either but I love doing both. since my body is a bit shit though, I suppose i have a slight advantage for my singing.

50. would you rather design the set, direct the show, or help with effects?

i already helped with video and audio effects once, that was fun. i’m no good at set design, and directing doesn’t sound too bad, but I’m not into the creative pressure that comes along with directing. i think I’ll just stick to my dramaturgy. :P

thanks love, for all the questions!

#i do feel much better now #so thanks for those #i appreciate it #my posts

I love the fact that you have this master playlist of European musicals on YouTube. Could you possibly make a separate playlist of all the European musicals which specifically include English subtitles?

That's a good idea! I originally would put all English subtitled videos to the top of the playlist, but now the playlist is so long it takes forever to move videos up there and sometimes Youtube just glitches out half way through me trying to scroll up and ah.

So, yes I can, and I have now.

Note: These are only the videos that are on Youtube. There are some videos that have been taken down off Youtube/channels deleted/videos blocked in certain countries. I constantly save videos from Youtube and if a Proshot with subtitles gets taken down, I reupload them to archive.org where Youtube can't touch them. So far I have two on here (Mozart das Musical 2015 in HD 720p and the Mozart L'Opéra Rock 2011 3D) and I am in the process of uploading Les Dix Commandements as it just got blocked on Youtube: https://archive.org/details/@wennli3b3 You can stream and download the videos from there. (If you don't want to scroll through all the Musical CD audios I have posted there that you can stream and download, you can filter by 'movies' in the side panel).

I’ve seen a lot about your thoughts on Elisabeth and Tanz der Vampire, and they’ve been really helpful getting into those musicals! But you have a huge list of other musicals that people can get into…

So I was wondering if you had any musicals you hadn’t mentioned in a while that you really like or would like to talk about??? (preferably something from your lists that has a blue heart please?)

Oh if only you knew how long the list of European musicals really is... I however have only seen 9 (if I counted right) and I have a lot more that I still need to watch. Oh also, I only put the blue hearts on any musicals that I was providing multiple links for so people could see which version I reccoment the most highly. If a musical only had one link and didn't have a blue heart it doesn't mean I didn't like it.

I've watched: Mozart das Musical, Elisabeth das Musical, Tanz der Vampire, 3 Musketiers, Mozart L'Opéra Rock, Dracula (the Graz production), Rebecca das Musical, Roméo et Juliette and Schikaneder.

If you enjoyed those two you're likely to enjoy Rebecca! It's written by the same composer/lyricist team as Elisabeth and Mozart (and same lyricist as Tanz der Vampire - though if you're listening to any German musical, original or translated, 90% of the time the lyrics will have been done by Michael Kunze that man is everywhere). The Stuttgart production has my favourite set design of any musical! Well... Actually probably. There are so many big set pieces it's insane, way more than I've seen in some Broadway and West End musicals. You can tell so much work went into it and the visual effects that I won't spoil if you don't know the plot but if you know the plot you know what I mean by the effects at the end are so good and I didn't expect them at all and I freaked out so much the first time I watched it. Jan Ammann as Maxim in the Stuttgart production is the best Maxim. No I won't take any argument. Other actors feel a bit one-dimensional to me, but the way Maxim acts at times comes from trauma and some actors and productions seem to forget that, but Jan really goes for it and his Maxim is a lot more sympathetic and I just want to give him a hug. Pia Douwes as Mrs Danvers, if you've seen her in Elisabeth what more do I need to say, she's amazing. A musical goddess. Her Danny is a bit more wild than some, but she kills it. My favourite video, which I put the blue heart next to, has understudy Christina Patten as Ich/I, but I adore her she's my favourite. She adds some spunk to Ich in act 2 and her voice is so pretty and aaaa. I just love these three actors together in these roles.

Roméo et Juliette is another favourite of mine! It's hard to choose which one to recommend, but it has to be the original 2000/2001 production because of the sweetness and chemistry and voices of Damien Sargue and Cecilia Cara as Romeo and Juliet. They're so pretty and work together so well. The only reason I say it's hard to pick is Mercutio. I adore him, but in the original production they cut out a song they had planned for him and he doesn't really do much at all? In the 2010 revival they gave him two more songs and you care about him so much more and John Eyzen plays such a good Mercutio. So I'd recommend the original but if you want to like Mercutio more, which you should he's amazing, I'd recommend watching at least clips of John's. It's an interesting musical because all productions are non-replica and also change around the order of songs, add or take away characters, all sorts. The Hungarian production is also very popular and I'm sure it's great, I just haven't' gotten around to watching it yet.

Mozart das Musical was the first non-English language musicals I watched so I have a fondness for it, but it's not my favourite. However, I do realise I have forgotten most of the songs and the few I've gone back and listened to are better than I remember.

Dracula isn't super popular and I understand why, I don't love the plot of the Dracula/Mina romance in it, however. I do love this musical because despite how I find the plot lacking, the songs are so good! At least, I love them. And the actors are all doing a great job. And it's one of the few Dracula adaptions to keep Quincy Morris so they get bonus points for that.

Mozart L'Opéra Rock and modern French musicals... This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but they're often more like pop-rock operas now. So if you're not into musicals with that style of music it might not be for you, but I still enjoyed it even though I didn't think I would because of the style of music. Mozart and Salieri's chemistry is very good, Salieri's bisexual crisis song is iconic, actually all of Salieri's songs are iconic.

Schikaneder... eh. I didn't like it that much and I didn't really like any of the songs. There's no English subtitles, but someone sent me the entire English synopsis and I watched it with a German friend so I had double the help of understanding it. Doesn't mean others might not like it, just none of the songs stood out to me and I had no desire to listen to any of them again. It's by Steven Scharwz of Wicked fame and I love Wicked, but I didn't love this.

3 Musketiers!! God it's so underrated and not spoken about within the European musical fandom that I even forget about it and literally forgot to write about it earlier in this post. It's a Dutch musical (though did also have a German production) and it's really good!? Faces you might know are Pia Douwes as Milady de Winter, Stanley Burlseon as Cardinal Richeliu (Netherlands Der Tod in Elisabeth), Henk Poort as Athos (Netherlands Phantom and Jean Valjean). The dialgoue is funny, the songs are good, some of the set pieces have no right to exist in this tiny musical?? They made this giant boat and pelt the actors with rain just for one 5 minute song and then we never see the boat again? And while I recommend the Dutch one because Dutch musicals deserve more love and it has official English subtitles!! Official ones, not fanmade! I have the DVD and it comes with English subtitles (and Dutch and German subtitles) which is so nice. The German version is also good, good cast, Pia came back and Uwe Kroger as Richeliu and omg they rearranged the songs and the German arrangement of Nicht Aus Stein is insane and amazing and frankly iconic.

That's all of the ones I have watched. Next on my list to watch are Rudolf and Notre Dame de Paris, both of which I have listened to some songs from and already love (I've listened to way too much of Notre Dame de Paris and am so in love).

I want to start organising streams where I'll host the musical either by getting the video from Youtube or my own files and anyone who wants to join can come along and watch with us, chat with us if you want or just watch there's no pressure to chat. I thought about doing weekly streams? This would also make me finally watch some of the ones I've been meaning to for ages. But I keep wondering about time zones. I'm in the UK and would want to stream at about 11pm at the latest (11pm BST/GMT+1 as we’re in daylight savings at the moment, if the streams continue past the end of October which would be wild then I’ll make a note of the time change that would be to 11pm GMT), which I know can work for other UK and Europeans, but for any Americans would be in the afternoon. So, I wondered if doing it on a weekend would be better? Then it doesn't matter if it's in the afternoon? Maybe Saturday evenings then? It would either be Saturday evenings UK time or Friday evenings UK time. What do you guys think? If people are down then I'll make a separate post with a list of what we'll be watching each week and if anything happens to me that means I can't stream one week then everything will just get pushed back a week, but I don't see that as likely to happen. And I'll only be streaming those that have English subtitles, so don't worry about not being able to understand anything.

edit: am also open to 10pm bst if others want that, im just trying to think of what time works best for everyone so sorry if 11pm is a little late for europeans, i know 10pm could be a little early for americans. also in case it sounded like these are the only musicals i will be streaming, thats not so, ive got more than just the ones mentioned on this list!

(Tagging some people who I know are or might be interested in streams to see what you think of that plan: @sirona-art @ringwraith100 @tanz-der-trash @smilingwoland @the-weird-dane @witchgaye @ami-fidele @kisstheghouls @looking-4-happiness @ladysapphire928 @sloanedestler @tinywound @persephonaae @phoenixdewinter @uwucoffee @freshbloodandgothicism )
