Dive into a world of fiery emotions and operatic obsession with Stephen Sondheim's musical masterpiece, Passion. Set in 19th century Italy, the story follows the destructive love affair between Fosca, a lonely and sickly woman, and Giorgio, a handsome young soldier stationed in her hometown. Fosca, fixated on romantic novels and fueled by a vivid imagination, becomes dangerously obsessed with Giorgio.
Their relationship is a whirlwind of passionate encounters, manipulation, and volatile emotions. Fosca's insecurities and possessive nature clash with Giorgio's carefree and commitment-phobic personality. The narrative unfolds through a series of flashbacks and dramatic monologues, revealing the psychological unraveling of both characters as their love spirals out of control.
With a hauntingly beautiful score that blends classical and contemporary influences, Passion is not for the faint of heart. It's a complex exploration of love, obsession, and the destructive power of desire. The music is emotionally charged, with soaring vocals and intricate harmonies that mirror the intensity of the characters' emotions. Through its dark and unsettling themes, Passion leaves a lasting impression, prompting discussions about the nature of love and the potential for obsession to consume even the most passionate hearts.

Rock tenor Rob Evan is perhaps most famous for his essaying of the dual title roles in Frank Wildhorn's JEKYLL & HYDE ten years ago on Broadway - and playing the leads in the new rock reinterpretation of the score known as JEKYLL & HYDE: RESURRECTION - but since that time he has appeared in entertainment entities as diverse as LES MISERABLES, Disney's TARZAN, Alan Menken & Howard Ashman's LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, concert performances of CHESS, THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, The Dream Engine and, of course, his muse-like work for Paul O'Neill, creator and composer of the international phenomenon known as the Trans Siberian Orchestra, as well as the Lord of Excess himself and a rock god like none other, BAT OUT OF HELL visionary Jim Steinman. There's a lot more to the story of Evan, Steinman and DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES than may seem at first bite. In this exclusive conversation, Evan and I discuss his many stage and concert appearances, as well as his extensive studio work - including BATMAN and many new, unheard compositions - with the resplendent and reclusive rock icon known to friends as just Jimmy. Here's a big bloody bite of my conversation with Rob Evan, who can be seen in a number of upcoming appearances on concert stages across the world, including his upcoming ROCK TENOR series of shows. More information is available at his official site here.
