Just when you think everything’s going well, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

The Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich announces the world premiere of the ‘Comic Oratorio’ Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

The work was previously staged in 2007 in Canada and the US under the title ‘Not the Messiah (He’s a Very Naughty Boy)’, which may be a bit strong for devoutly Catholic München.

    Find a modern day Rossini to write a Fawlty Towers opera buffa.

    “Devoutly Catholic München”? You must have a different city in mind. The München I know is quite secular, with a tiny bit of Catholic guilded surface…

    Did I dream it when I saw this at The Royal Albert Hall in 2010 then?
