Eine tiefschwarze Operette wollte Stephen Sondheim mit seinem 'Sweeney Todd. The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' schreiben - und das ist ihm durchaus gelungen. Mit acht Tonys wurde die Urauffuhrung von SWEENY TODD am Broadway 1979 ausgezeichnet. Sondheim legt hier eine grotesk pervertierte Opernhandlung vor, die einen Barbier, ein Mundel, bose Heiratsabsichten und grausige Vergeltungen in den Mittelpunkt stellt: Sweeney will erlittenes Unrecht rachen und mutiert dabei selbst zum Bosewicht a la Michael Kohlhaas. Zum 85. Geburtstag des Komponisten blickt das Theater Freiburg wieder auf diesen Klassiker, der dort vor 30 Jahren seine deutsche Erstauffuhrung erfahren hat.
