ABOUT THE OPERA
Another spooky play which RockOpera Theatre offers is based on the famous classical horror novel by the English writer Mary Shelley. As the musical teasers on RockOpera's YouTube channel suggest, the opera is music-wise focusing on the synthesis of metal and electronic music.
The
play tells the story of doctor Frankenstein, a crazy scientist who
creates a hideous monster with human feelings - the plot from the
19th century book deals with the dilemma of creation and is to an
extent inspired by classical mythology. The disturbing tale is very
popular to date, partially thanks to the many film adaptations. The
most famous actor who played the Frankenstein monster is the British
actor Boris Karloff - he first appeared on the movie screens in
1931.
