The Red and the Black

Summary of the musical:

The musical, or rather, the rock opera is based on Stendhal's novel of the same name. Julien Soriel, son of a carpenter, dreams of climbing the social ladder. He becomes the teacher of Mr. and Mrs. Rênal's children. He maintains a relationship with the latter which is torn between his duty as a mother and his love for Julien Sorel. When their passion was discovered, he went into exile in Paris where he was employed as secretary to the Marquis de Môle. It doesn't take long for her to charm Louise, the daughter of the Marquis. Pregnant, she asks her father to accept their union. But the heart has its reasons that reason ignores, especially when Louise Rênal returns to take revenge ...
