Marlene Dietrich – Irgendwo auf der Welt, Stalburg Theater

Marlene Dietrich – Irgendwo auf der Welt is a musical and literary homage at Stalburg Theater in Frankfurt on Monday, 22 February 2027, at 20:00. Ingrid El Sigai performs vocals and recitation, Markus Neumeyer plays piano and wrote the arrangements, and Tobias Rüger plays saxophone. The evening sets out to tell a story with the words of Erich Maria Remarque, whose book "Arc de Triomphe" draws on his affair with Marlene in the late 1930s.

Songs she sang, such as "Ich bin die fesche Lola" and "Lili Marleen", accompany the passages, alongside chansons she did not sing. The texts are by Erich Maria Remarque, and the music is by F. Holaender, J. Brel, P. Seeger and others. Neumeyer's arrangements are meant to recall the sound of the 1920s and 1930s, and some songs also receive techniques from modern avant-garde and popular music.

The theme of "Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte" runs through many songs in the background. Tickets start at EUR 29, and a discount is available.
