Homage to Kurt Weill

Vladimir Korneev honours Kurt Weill’s life’s work with his new programme YOUKALI – named after the play written in exile about a utopian country in which everyone can feel respected, loved and free.

More than “The Threepenny Opera”

Sometimes it seems as if you can’t think of Kurt Weill without Bertolt Brecht. But the oeuvre of the Jewish composer, who was born in Dessau, matured into an artist in 1920s Berlin and fled from the Nazis, is far more extensive than “The Threepenny Opera” and “The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny”. In America, where Weill lived from 1935 until his death in 1950, he wrote musicals, among other things, and enjoyed great success on Broadway, which were made into films in Hollywood.

With an incomparable voice, charm and passion, Korneev brings the universal language of Kurt Weill’s music into the here and now and celebrates longing and emotion as only the Georgian-born singer and actor can. Korneev will be accompanied by Markus Syperek on the piano.
