Rockoper von Günter Werno, Andy Kuntz, Stephan Lill & Johannes Reitmeier nach John Miltons epischem Gedicht PARADISE LOSTSzenenfolge und Textfassung von Andy...

John Milton's eloquent verse epic PARADISE LOST - THE LOST PARADISE from 1667 tells of the fall of the angels into hell, of Satan's rebellion against God's order, of how sin came into the world, and of the temptation of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from it Garden of eden. In his text, Milton refers to various biblical sources from both the Old and the New Testament, but he also takes up motifs from ancient texts such as Homer and Virgil.

In its time the work was read as a parable of the English civil war in the middle of the 17th century, in later epochs one saw and still see a representation of the moral dilemma of man, being able to differentiate between good and bad.

After the rock mystery EVERYMAN (2015), the VANDEN PLAS musicians Günter Werno, Andy Kuntz and Stephan Lill, together with Johannes Reitmeier, will again premiere a major stage work in the style of a medieval game of morality as a rock opera. The hymnically opulent sound of Germany's leading prog metal band VANDEN PLAS seems almost predestined to capture Milton's epic with its powerful images between heaven, paradise and hell in music.
