A mother’s sacrifice enables her son to grow up in privilege and power. But when he discovers his roots, he must forsake all that he has to lead a people that he hardly knows against the man he considered his brother. Read through the complete synopsis. For an even more in-depth look at what happens, take a look through the show’s lyrics, the Italian lyrics, or browse through this English translation of the lyrics. |

The story of Moses, the flight from Egypt and the gift of the Ten Commandments is one of the most dramatic in all of the Bible. As such, it has been interpreted time and again in many different mediums, the Cecil B. Demille movie being perhaps the most well-known one today. Read the Bible story for yourself, or read more about the development of this musical. |
 The studio and live recordings of the original cast are the only ones I have of this show so far! You can read my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs.
There are also DVD versions of the French and Italian casts released – read a bit more about the French video. |
Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to see this show on stage! I’m not sure if it’s playing anywhere at the moment, but hopefully I will have the opportunity to see it at some point, and will add my thoughts here when I do. |
I wasn’t familiar with any of the actors before seeing/hearing them in this show, but many of them are very talented! Check out a few of my favourites. Once you’re done looking around here, check out some of the other Les Dix Commandements sites that are out there. |
