Abstract
Song recital Dagmar Manzel - Sehnsucht
The actress Dagmar Manzel is known to a wide audience as the detective in the Franken Tatort, but just as legendary are her appearances at the Komische Oper, where she could be seen in many operetta productions by Barrie Kosky: as the ravishing Cleopatra in Oscar Straus' Die Perlen der Cleopatra or in Paul Abraham's revue Ball im Savoy. Now she is coming to Zurich with her five-piece band and has some trouvailles from chanson and operetta in her luggage: well-known and unknown songs by Friedrich Hollaender, Paul Abraham and Hanns Eisler, among others, with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, Ernst Jandl, Alfred Grünwald or Kurt Tucholsky. Quiet humor, comedy and melancholy soar over the evening, to which Dagmar Manzel gives the title Sehnsucht (Longing) - because ultimately all the pieces are about longing: longing for a little private happiness, for better times or for forgetting.
