Georg Nigl, Martina Gedeck & Elena Bashkirova

Macbeth, Achilles, Papageno the bird-catcher, or even the witch from Hänsel und Gretel… Georg Nigl is a man of many faces and many bravos at La Monnaie. In this special recital, the baritone and the actress Martina Gedeck (Das Leben der Anderen) take you on a journey through the pantheon of German literature and philosophy. Goethe, Nietzsche, Heine, Brecht – they all take the stage. At times to music by the greatest German lieder composers, at times in the vibrancy of a vivid reading. A surprising and exceptionally funny literary concert.
