Andrew Lloyd Webber:One of the Truly Great Composers of All Time
百老匯流行音樂劇教父-安德魯·洛伊·韋伯
Lloyd Webber’s next project was Cats in 1981. For this production, he decided not to work with a lyricist. Instead, he set his music to the poetry of TS Eliot. This was Lloyd Webber’s most successful play until he composed The Phantom of the Opera.
The Phantom of the Opera, which opened in 1986, became the longest-running musical on Broadway in 2006. Lloyd Webber’s wife at the time, the well-known singer Sarah Brightman, played in the original production of The Phantom of the Opera. Since then, Lloyd Webber has continued to compose musicals. His next step is believed to be writing a musical based on the 2003 movie, School of Rock .
Over the years, he has won many awards, including seven Tonys, three Grammys, and an Oscar, to name just a few. Andrew Lloyd Webber is perhaps the greatest composer of the 20th century.
安德魯•洛伊•韋伯的下一個計畫是 1981 年的《貓》。對於 這個作品,他決定不和作詞家合作。反而,他將他的音樂譜進 TS 艾略特的詩中。這是安德魯•洛伊•韋伯最成功的作品,直到他創 作了《歌劇魅影》。 1986 年首演的《歌劇魅影》,在 2006 年成為百老匯演出最長 的音樂劇。安德魯•洛伊•韋伯當時的妻子 ── 知名歌手莎拉•布 萊曼在《歌劇魅影》的原始作品中演出。從那時候起,安德魯•洛 伊•韋伯繼續創作音樂劇。他的下一步被認為是寫一齣以 2003 年 電影《搖滾教室》為根據的音樂劇。多年來,他贏得許多獎項,隨 便舉幾個來說,包括七座東尼獎、三座葛萊美獎和一座奧斯卡金像 獎。安德魯•洛伊•韋伯可說是二十世紀最偉大的作曲家。
