A comedy for singers by Ronald Kaehler Music by Gioachino Rossini Musical Supervision and Orchestrations by Jeremy Franklin Goodman
Finalist, 2018 MUT International Musical Entertainment Competition Gaertnerplatz Theater, Munich, Germany
UNDER THE OVERTURE is a unique new comedy for the stage — a fast and furious backstage farce that builds to an all-singing musical grand finale. It’s the play that becomes an opera!
UNDER THE OVERTURE features the glorious music of Rossini in a way you’ve never heard (or seen) before. Imagine the slapstick of the farce NOISES OFF colliding with the sparkling overture from THE BARBER OF SEVILLE in a bravura operatic stunt and you’ll have an idea of the fun in store in this truly one-of-a-kind entertainment.
We had a very successful presentation of highlights of the piece in October 2018 under the direction of Gerard Alessandrini, the Tony Award-winning creator of SPAMILTON and FORBIDDEN BROADWAY fame. We're now gearing up for the next step: a full production!
Any contribution you can make to help us make this ambitious project a reality will be deeply appreciated!
