Description: A story of an impish devil who used to be an angel but got tired of singing Hosannah and so was condemned to live on earth. From his home in a windmill, he pursues love and happiness in a hilarious and sometimes tragic turmoil that affects the whole countryside.
“Devil’s Bride” stands as the inaugural Lithuanian musical ever crafted. Its widespread acclaim has led to it occasionally being referred to as a Lithuanian rock opera akin to “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
