What kind of music resonates the most may be found in major sports events.
For example, "Rhapsody in Blue" at the 1984 Olympic Games, British rock at the London Olympic Games, and the Divine Comedy "imagine" that appeared on the stage of the Olympic Games and other major games many times... These are classic music that represents various eras.
The Games of the 90s were more like the world of musical theater, Europe in 1996 let the world know about Les Misérables, and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano made the name Andrew Lloyd Webber shine.
At the opening ceremony of the Nagano Winter Olympics, there were two wonderful musical performances.
One of the passages that we are more familiar with is the beethoven's great Ninth (Chorus) Symphony sung by singers from 5 cities around the world through satellites under the direction of Japan's world-class conductor Seiji Ozawa.
The other is the famous song "Children Rule the World" sung by musicians and children, in Weber's musical Whistle down the wind.
One represents the greatest achievement of human music in the past, and the other represents the new forces of the present and the future.
“
When children rule the world in addition to performing songs, or bgm when the main venue flame is passed.
Chris Moon delivers the flame to the ignition table in the melody of the Weber musical and in the company of children.
Being able to appear on the stage of the Nagano Winter Olympics as the only song with Beethoven's famous song and pass the last stick as a flame, and friends familiar with musical theater should know that this work is not yet the most well-known work of Master Weber.
This shows the influence of Andrew Lloyd Weber in that era.
Sir Weber's influence can be known only by looking at a few sets of numbers.
Whether it is artistic value or market reputation, Weber's musicals are excellently evaluated.
As of 2013, Sir Weber has won 7 Tony Awards, 3 Grammy Awards, 1 Academy Award, 1 International Emmy Award, 7 Lawrence Oliver Awards, 1 Golden Globe Award, and 14 Ivor Novello Awards. In recent years, he has won numerous awards for "School of Rock".
According to incomplete statistics, Weber-related musicals have been performed on Broadway at least 25,000 times.
Unlike the circle culture of musical theater, Weber's musical theater also has a strong out-of-the-loop effect.
The following song you should also be familiar with, the classic song no matter what from boyzone, the original song is also from Weber's musical Whistle down the wind.
Let's turn the clock back to 1982, the American musician and producer on Broadway never imagined that this 34-year-old young man from England who originally intended to study history would bring a Beatle-like British impact to Broadway, and the European musical theater genre represented by him completely broke the broadway dream of unifying the world.
In 1982, "Cat" made a record of 8,078 performances on Broadway, and in 1988, "Phantom of the Opera" entered Broadway, and so far it has performed 13,370 times, which is the most performed musical on Broadway.
The musical theater market is a very special market, mediocre works do not have any living space, the box office is basically equal to word of mouth, these two cross-era records, representing Broadway by his works deeply impressed.
But as a change-maker and challenger, he brings not disruption, but more possibilities to inject Broadway with a more diverse culture.
He did not let Broadway weaken, and the new era musical theater people led by Weber brought a hundred flowers to Broadway at the end of the 20th century, which has been influencing to this day, and together they have created a brilliant and colorful new generation of music.
In tribute to this great musician's outstanding contribution to musical theater, the Broadway Night Classic Musical Theme Symphony Concert, which combines three classic Merriam-Webster musicals, memory, don't cry for me argentina and superstar, is adapted and integrated into a symphonic suite for everyone to play, in addition to the symphonic suite of "Phantom of the Opera", so stay tuned.
