Jesus Christ Superstar – for many, these words immediately evoke the melody from the rock opera of the same name. What a remarkable achievement from a music student who laid the foundation for his path as the most successful musical composer of our time. Andrew Lloyd Webber was in his early twenties when he realized the bold idea of turning the Passion of Jesus into a rock opera in 1970, collaborating with lyricist Tim Rice. Initially, Webber and Rice released "Jesus Christ Superstar" as a concept album, featuring Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan as Jesus and Murray Head as Judas. The album sold so well that "Jesus Christ Superstar" premiered on Broadway in New York in 1971. Over 50 years later, after countless stage performances around the world and two film adaptations, the piece has lost none of its vitality and captivating power. The story of the last seven days of Jesus Christ is told from the perspective of his close friend and later betrayer, Judas Iscariot. Judas witnesses the crowds cheering for Jesus, celebrating him like a superstar. However, over time, he sees the goals for which Jesus once stood begin to fade. The cult of personality that develops around the "Son of God" frightens him. Judas warns Jesus: "If you disappoint them, they will hurt you!" This mass of followers also raises suspicion among the Roman priests, who fear for their own power and want to eliminate the popular young man. This not only endangers Jesus himself but also his family, friends, and the lives of those who truly believe in him. Judas only wants the best for everyone and finds himself in a situation where he becomes a betrayer against his will. It is an unusual perspective on the Passion story, with its important moments depicted in this rock opera: the love of Mary Magdalene for Jesus, the Last Supper, Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, the death sentence, the Stations of the Cross, and Jesus’ death on the cross. It is a story about fame and the final journey of an idol, about worship and hatred, faith and doubt, friendship and betrayal, despair and hope. With captivating music and moving words, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice distanced themselves from the religious establishment in the USA of the 1970s. The premiere faced protests from Christian conservative groups, who mainly objected to Judas being portrayed as a sympathetic character. Nevertheless, the rock opera became a great success, achieving 720 performances in its original production alone. Hits like "I Don’t Know How to Love Him" and Herod’s song "Try It and See" speak for themselves. The music combines rock, pop, and even classical elements. For more than 50 years, the piece has touched and inspired people, warning against a faith that turns into fanaticism.
