Would you like to indulge in illusions or have a Sunday on Monday? You're welcome!
With her tribute "So oder so ist das Leben", published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Hildegard Knef's birth, Nicole Metzger honors the great artist and personality and combines her magnificent German lyrics with the music of Cole Porter and George Gershwin. She will be accompanied by her top-class jazz trio with Daniel Prandl on piano, Jens Loh on double bass and Tobias Frohnhöfer on drums. It will definitely rain red roses for you at the end of the show!

The great jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald once said of Knef: "She is the world's greatest singer without a voice." The author of the Rowohlt Jazz Lexicon, Martin Kunzler, wrote about Metzger: "She is one of the most complete singers of that royal class called jazz mainstream on the international scene. But despite her dazzling technical perfection, the magic always remains palpable, the warmth of her voice and personality."

And the points of contact are already apparent. The voice and the personality, the expression in her singing. The magic.
How often has a copy of Knef failed to sing and speak the way Knef was meant to? The mistake lies in the basic idea. Why should you do it? Who do you want to do justice to with a copy? And above all: it always remains just a copy, an external reproduction that never comes close to the essence and soul of the original.
Nicole Metzger does not hide behind the original. She enters into a dialog with Knef and tries to entice, explore, befriend and discover Knef with the extraordinary sound of her voice and the magic of her musical expression.
And Knef remains Knef, Metzger remains Metzger and at the same time the souls of the two outstanding artists connect. You can feel, discover and experience Knef in Metzger's singing. You find the Metzger in the lyrics and lyricism of the Knef.
Metzger Knef - A fusion of individualism. A stroke of luck. (Peter Kühn, director)
