Ute Lemper - Angels Over Berlin

International singing sensation and the undisputed queen of cabaret, Ute Lemper returns to Auckland in May for one New Zealand concert only performing her new show Angels over Berlin.
Her recent appearances in Europe and North American have wowed audiences and won the admiration of critics bowled over by the sheer presence and vocal mastery of this talented and charismatic artist at the pinnacle of her career.

Opening in the Weimar Republic, Angels over Berlin journeys through the repertoire of Brecht and Weill for which Ute Lemper is justly renowned, continues into the poetic universe of the French chansons of Brel, Piaf and Ferre, before heading into the sultry Argentine world of tango by Astor Piazzolla.

Backed by a superb line-up of musicians - Vana Gierig on piano, Steve Millhouse on bass, Tito Castro on Bandoneo and drummer, Eric Halvorson – Angels over Berlin will show audiences, eager for her return since her stunning performance in AK03, why Ute Lemper is regarded as one of the world’s great performing artists.

Admired worldwide for her dazzling solo performances and leading roles in Broadway and West End musicals including Cats and Chicago, Ute Lemper is also a successful recording star who achieved major international recognition with the release of Ute Lemper Sings Kurt Weill, Songbook, a collaboration with the British composer Michael Nyman as well as a string of solo recordings including Punishing Kiss, But One Day, Blood & Feathers: Live at the Café Carlyle and most recently, Between Yesterday and Today.

“Lemper grabs her audience by the throat the moment she marches into the spotlight ...” – The Guardian (July 2009)
“Lemper’s voice is an extraordinary instrument ... a rare and rewarding night” – Graham Reid, NZ Herald (AK03)
