"Death, it must be a Wiener" (Georg Kreisler)
Or: "What is the Wolf doing in the café?"

A whimsical song evening featuring works by Hugo Wolf, Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler, Hanns Eisler, Benjamin Britten, Georg Kreisler, and others.

In this extraordinary song evening, art song meets cabaret, and classical song singing meets Viennese song and chanson. The Viennese café is an institution. A unique place. A place not only to visit for coffee but especially to encounter people, observe them, spend time, and find inspiration. Many artists, writers, and musicians spent more time in the café than at home. The characters one encounters in the café are as diverse as life itself – sometimes in love, sometimes lonely, sometimes successful, sometimes failed, sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes disappointed...

In songs from Hugo Wolf to Gustav Mahler, Benjamin Britten to Hanns Eisler, and Ira Gershwin to Georg Kreisler, we meet these café characters and their stories – charmingly and captivatingly presented by three artists well-known to the IHWA: Hagar Sharvit (mezzo-soprano), Mikhail Timoshenko (baritone), and Elitsa Desseva (piano). Humorous and always with a wink, they once again prove that genre boundaries exist only in the mind. The director Nikolaus Büchel – a native Viennese who is also no stranger in Stuttgart – gives the whole thing a cabaret touch. And in the end, it will become clear whether Georg Kreisler is right...
