Concert Series

When two worlds meet, anything can happen. In 2020, the Orchestra and Ensemble of Floodligt Musicals and the Choir of RWTH Aachen University embarked together on a journey through colorful worlds of musical theater. Under the direction of Manuel Gottschlich, they presented emotional key moments in classical musicals and showed that it is worth looking beyond one’s own limited horizon and trying to understand the world of others. Unfortunately, a major crisis in the form of the corona pandemic was casting its shadow over this project and prevented the possibility of holding the final concert.

Jekyll & Hyde

Jekyll & Hyde

Musical Theatre

What constitutes our true humanity? Doctor Henry Jekyll believes in a theory that man has two existences: good and evil. He is obsessed with the idea of separating these two opposites in the human to be able to live a life without moral failures. After the board of governors denies him all support, he undertakes a self-experiment with fatal consequences. The musical adaption of Frank Wildhorn intertwines existential philosiphical scenarios with stories of personal fate.

In 2019, Floodlight Musicals shed new light on the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson by developing an ambitious production under the musical direction of Manuel Gottschlich. In four acclaimed performances with 2.500 audience members, they awakend the thrilling musical worlds of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde while questioning the basic pillars of societal morality and ethics.
