The Flesh-Eating Orchids present: Opera & Cabaret
8:15PM -
9:45PM
Presented by Katharina Rothe
The Flesh-Eating Orchids -- Tanja Auf der Heyde (piano), David Hodges (bandoneon) and Kat Rothe (voice) -- present an evening ranging from opera to German cabaret. We will take you on a roller coaster, starting high, enchanted, and love-struck with Schumann Lieder ... but slowly, slowly, yet mercilessly, love will be disappointed and we'll crash-land, soaring in the pain of unrequited love. Nobody expresses that better than Mozart in Pamina's Aria "Ach ich fühl's, es ist verschwunden."
The night will be rounded out with pieces from Brecht's and Weill's Dreigroschenoper, The Three-Penny-Opera, which will basically lead us through all the miseries of life ... right into a revenge and murder fantasy.
To send you off on a light note, we end with the "Crack of Doom" by the Tiger Lillies.
This event is not ticketed.
