Act II, Track 02 - Pledging Loyalty

Song links: Spotify - YT Music - Apple - Tidal

A tension-filled scene. What does this mysterious stranger want?

[Apollonius:] Born beneath the eastern sun, river nymph conceived me God Surya, hear thy son, as I call to greet thee Let me introduce myself: I am Apollonius Raise your people, raise them high Slowly they are falling into boredom Hear them cry, silently they're calling Caesar, I am here for thee, pledging you my loyalty

He wants to help Seth and be his advisor. The people, as he points out, are safe and well-fed, but also bored. Apollonius can help with that, semi-divine magician that he is. Next he says something that I'm sure is no cause for concern at all:

[Apollonius:] I am Apollonius - insincere and devious Showing who I am [People at the palace:] Truly unbelievable And so inconceivable Insincere and devious

Wow, unbelievable! He says he's untrustworthy, I think that means we can trust him!

The last line the people say is missing from the written text, but I'm pretty sure they sing: "Join us, Apollonius!"

Seth doesn't have to think for very long before he answers:

[Seth:] Join me, Apollonius Everyone will follow on our path When both of us reach a new tomorrow [Seth & Apollonius:] You and I will be as one Brothers on the human throne

Apollonius was, according to Christofer, sent by Satan to help Seth, but this isn't stated explicitly in the album inlay or the text.

He is played by Marcus Jupither, who is one of the more famous Swedish opera singers. Fans of the band may remember him from the song Hellequin (2010). Opera fans from Karlstad, on the other hand, may remember him from Das Rheingold:

Probably not what he usually looks like, but this picture is so much cooler than a regular outfit and fits his role in BA better.

Speaking of Titanic, but about the musical this time, I can’t stop thinking about this little scene in the Swedish production (RIP) and I’m so glad there’s a photo of it. While there was a dialogue scene going on on the bridge (that is, right above the characters in the picture), Thomas Andrews and a crew member went to the lower decks to check the extent of the damage, which of course turned out to be disastrous.

This moment was so incredibly effective. The effect was achieved via lighting (blue light + the torch the crew member’s carrying) and acting alone, but I believed it 100% – water was rushing in fast, and they characters had to get away as quickly as possible.

I love seeing stuff like this in theatre. Sure, I love to see well-made, innovative projections and special effects every now and then, too – but something about moments like this that are very simple and back-to-basics simply get me.
