Kurt Weill Festival "Courage for Renewal
On the occasion of the centenary, Bauhäusliche is everywhere. At the authentic site of Dessau, 'Weill 2019' will focus on bold thinking with openness to experimentation as a visionary factor of social renewal. The 'New Hearing through Seeing' series will showcase music, lighting design and architecture in the interdisciplinary interaction of color and sound. In memory of Weill's works for the stage, the Threepenny Opera, which premiered 90 years ago, comes to the Anhaltisches Theater. Dagmar Pecková alias Mackie Messer dives into the wild twenties with Weill's opening revue "Wanted". Big names such as Ute Lemper as artist-in-residence, Katharina Thalbach, Helen Schneider, Oliver Potratz, Kenny Wollesen, Nora Gomringer & Baby Sommer, Ansgar Striepens, Nils Landgren & JazzBaltica All Stars and with Leipzig roots Johannes Bigge, Peter Bruns & other HMT-ler can also be experienced. The hour drive to Dessau flies by and the trip is worth it! (1.3. to 17.3.)
