Hildegard Knef - Songs and Life of a World Star - Premiere

A biographical song recital with Antje Rietz & Band

"Let red roses rain for me", "One and one" or "I need a change of scenery" are chansons that are unforgettable. Hildegard Knef was everything: once a film star, an outstanding singer and bestselling author. With her autobiography "The Gifted Horse", she stormed the bestseller lists just as her songs climbed the charts.

Antje Rietz is herself an exceptional artist. Recently she delighted our audience with the Caterina Valente evening "Music is in the Air". As a singing actress, she has performed as Marlene Dietrich and Hildegard Knef - now she devotes an entire song recital to Knef!
Together with her excellent live band, Antje Rietz presents her new programme "Hildegard Knef - Songs and Life of a World Star" exclusively at the Komödie im Marquardt.
