Am Sonntag, den 11. Oktober 2020 um 19.00 Uhr veranstalteten die Luisenburg-Festspiele ein ganz besonderes Konzert in Starbesetzung mit der Musik aus dem Musical DER NAME DER ROSE, das im Juni 2021 auf der Felsenbühne Premiere haben wird.

In der Fichtelgebirgshalle von Wunsiedel kamen für dieses gut einstündige Konzert aus der Originalbesetzung von 2021 die Musicalstars Livio Cecini (William von Baskerville), Gunnar Frietsch (Adso von Melk) und Rob Pitcher (Abt) sowie nur für diesen Abend die Hauptdarstellerin aus dem Musical ZUCKER, Marina Granchette sowie der norwegische Librettist des Musicals, Øystein Wiik, zusammen.

Die sechs Musiknummern des Konzerts vermitteln einen ersten Eindruck der Komposition, wie sie im Sommer 2021 auf der Luisenburg zu hören sein wird. Die neun Musiker unter der Leitung von Thore Vogt spielten die Luisenburger Fassung des Musicals, die extra für die Festspiele arrangiert und umgearbeitet wurde.
