Tanz der Vampire
Tanz der Vampire premiered in 1998
in Vienna, Austria. Directed by Roman Polanski (on whose film The Fearless
Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me But Your Teeth Are In My Neck the musical was
based), with music by Jim Steinman and lyrics by Michael Kunze, the show became
a success. Its dark, yet often amusing, subject matter, Steinman's grandiose
rock score and some wonderful lyrics, coupled with fantastic performances and
deeply convincing sets and costumes, led the production to further success in
Stuttgart.
All of this is still under construction, but more will be added……
Synopsis - a
translation of the synopsis which comes with the highlights CD
Lyrics - the
original German versions and English translations. I'm very grateful for the
help Rebecca gave me in producing the translations J
The Libretto - Please note that this is a translation of the Libretto book
which is available to buy - it's based on the Vienna production (so doesn't
include Stärker als wir sind) and in places it differs from the CD. The
only bit I've changed is the very end - the book doesn't have the four lines of
English. (This is NOT the script to the Broadway show!)
(Again, thanks to Rebecca for
correcting some of my translations)
