LOVE IT OR HATE IT – SZERETHETÕ-E A MUSICAL? Stephen Sondheim Into the Woods címû musicaljérõl.

It so happened that for the end-of-year exam performance with students from the Faculty of Theatre and Film, Babeº– Bolyai University, the preparatory tea chers chose a shortened version of Stephen Sondheim’s (1930-2021) musical Into the Woods, adapted for young people. As a voice coach and accompanist, I felt it was important to establish a deeper friendship with this previously unfamiliar work. Therefore, I first watched the Broadway film adaptation of the piece, then studied the libretto and the music associated with the lyrics. Simultaneously, I began to research Sondheim’s musical and lyric-writing activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
