A swinging Kurt Weill biography, from "Babylon Berlin" to Broadway
Discover Kurt Weill at the Kleines Haus: With lieder, arias, songs, and chansons, this musical evening takes you from Berlin’s Golden Twenties, through the legendary *Threepenny Opera*, to Broadway in New York. Along the way, a fascinating portrait emerges of a composer who made music history as a composer of music for Brecht’s plays, a cabaret musician, and a musical theater pioneer.
Annette Postel is one of the outstanding interpreters of Kurt Weill’s work. As the winner of the International Lotte Lenya Vocal Competition organized by the Kurt Weill Foundation in New York, she masterfully blends chanson, opera, and American musicals. Accompanied by Sebastian Matz on piano and Pirmin Ullrich on saxophones and clarinets, she takes the audience on a journey through Weill’s extraordinary body of work that is as entertaining as it is moving.
With plenty of charm, wit, rhythm, and swing, this Kurt Weill concert features both well-known classics and rarely heard musical treasures.
