Hildegard Knef: A Life in Chansons

About the Event

Hildegard Knef is one of Berlin's most remarkable personalities. As an actress and singer she toured as far as Hollywood, became an icon and still found her way back to her homeland Berlin.
After her great success last year, the Berlin actress and singer Friedelise Stutte will take you on a fresh and cheeky Hilde‐Art tour through the life of Knef for one evening — with all its ups and downs. The amazing similarity of voice and appearance let you immerse yourself in the world of Knef's chansons. Classics like 'Für mich soll's rote Rosen regnen', 'Eins und Eins das macht zwei' or 'Berlin, Dein Gesicht hat Sommersprossen' revive the feeling of the old dazzling Berlin, while short scenic performances provide intimate insights into the life of Hildegard Knef.
Friedelise Stutte is accompanied by renowned musicians of the Berlin jazz scene: the pianist and composer Michael Hoppe, the double bass player Sidney Werner and the drummer Philip Theurer.
