Internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter promises an evocative evening that journeys through two vibrant musical worlds: the romantic elegance of mid-century France and the smoky allure of Weimar cabaret.

With a talented four-piece ensemble accompaniment, Anne Sophie brings warmth and wit to a nostalgic collection of French chansons by Francis Lemarque, Henri Betti, Charles Trenet, Cécile Chaminade, Reynaldo Hahn, and Léo Ferré.

From the lilting charm of À Paris and the tender Douce France to the introspective poetry of Recueillement and the timeless beauty of À Chloris, through songs that capture the heart of a golden age.

Following the interval, we turn to the theatrical and daring world of German cabaret. With music by Norbert Glanzberg, Friedrich Hollaender, Michael Jary, Kurt Weill, Hanns Eisler, and others, this repertoire conjures a kaleidoscope of moods – bittersweet, ironic, and irresistibly human.

A programme that celebrates the enduring power of song to illuminate love, loss, and longing across time and language.
