Master Class

Dur­ing his Sep­tem­ber 2009 keynote speech at the Sec­ond Euro­pean Con­fer­ence of the Musi­cal The­ater Edu­ca­tors Alliance Inter­na­tional, “A Tale of Two Cities”, in Ham­burg, Ger­many, Dr. Michael Kunze pre­sented an intro­duc­tory musi­cal mas­ter class.

Inter­est­ingly enough, his path from protest song writer to hit musi­cal author reflects in a way the exact struc­ture of a drama musi­cal, and Dr. Kunze wel­comes the oppor­tu­nity to share his expe­ri­ence with the world in this infor­mal mas­ter class set­ting. It shall serve as an exam­ple for other musi­cal authors to learn and to ben­e­fit from Michael’s proven method of cre­at­ing a spell­bind­ing work of musi­cal theater.

Mr. Kunze cred­its his suc­cess not so much to his tal­ent as a story teller, but rather to his hard work in research­ing pre­cisely those ele­ments of an engag­ing stage per­for­mance that touch the emo­tional core of the the­ater audience.

Watch this first “Intro­duc­tion” video and find out about Michael Kunze’s early career steps that even­tu­ally made him the most suc­cess­ful stage author in the his­tory of Euro­pean musi­cal theater.
