Musical adaptation of Hugo's 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame' touring Turkey

Victor Hugo's immortal literary work "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" comes to the theater stage as "Notre Dame - Quasimodo Musical." The musical, which is being staged by Kumbara Fine Arts, is set to tour all across Turkey between Nov. 29 and Dec. 20. On Dec. 1, the musical, which features French and British dancers, comes to Adana's Seyhan Municipality Cultural Center. The musical portrays Paris in the 15th century. King Louis XI is a wise and old king and Frollo is the Chief Justice.

Frollo gazes on the gypsy girl, Esmeralda, in the church during Fool's Day and sends Quasimodo to catch her. Quasimodo, with the girl, is captured by Phoebus, Captain of the Guards, who frees the girl. The courts sentence Quasimodo to be flogged, and the only one who will give him water while he is tied in the square is Esmeralda. Later, at a party of nobles, Esmeralda again meets both Frollo, who is bewitched by her, and Phoebus. When Phoebus is stabbed to death, Esmeralda is accused of the murder, convicted by the court and sentenced to hang. Clopin, King of the Beggars; Gringoire, Esmeralda's husband; and Quasimodo, the bellringer, all try different ways to save her from the gallows.
